Dear friends,
First of all, I hope you are all doing well.
As you know, our "Astronomy in all Seasons. Goodbye Gaia 2025" contest closed on November 30th, but due to the large number of participants, and with Christmas in between, the evaluation of the works has been very long as well as very laborious.
Finally, about 10 days ago, the list of winners was published on our website. You can find the winners and their respective works at the following link:
