Amateur Astronomy Contribution to Planetary Science posters:

Discussion in front of  my poster, Frédéric Brion and Christophe Pellier (SAF, France) turning their back,
Jean-Pierre Prost and myself (SAF France) with Agustin Sanchez-Lavega (Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao, Spain).
In the background Enrique Garcia-Melendo (Spain), Georg Fischer (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria) and Leigh Fletcher (University of Oxford, United Kingdom)

Here it is, I turned my badge so you could not recognize me.


Another international discussion (but in French with Teresa del Rio and Agustin Sanchez-Lavega (Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao, Spain) ;) )


Giant Planet posters:

BAA was there, with John Rogers his colleagues (Great Britain) in front of his poster.

Jon Legaretta (Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao, Spain) explains ...


For the public, an excellent exhibition, here the Mars Corner with Curiosity.


Typical dinner in Nantes:


The French corner with Jean-Pierre Prost, Frédéric Brion, Christophe Pellier. Georg Fischer (Austria) looks as if he does not understand French.



Ulyana Dyudina (California Institue of Technology, USA), myself and Padma Yanamandra-Fisher (Space Science Institute, USA).


A picture by Padma with the gentleman who took all the pictures, John Rogers, in front.
