Scientific paper

The XXXI European Symposium on Occultation Projects will be celebrated in ICRANet center of Pescara from 24 to 27 August 2012 (www.icranet.org/clavius2012). The occasion is the fourth centennial of the Jesuit astronomer Christopher Clavius (Bamberg 1538- Napoli 1612). The hybrid eclipse witnessed by Clavius in Rome (1567) and published on his Commentarius on the Sphere (1581 edition) was the first account of an annular eclipse ever published in a scientific book. To account of this eclipse a larger solar diameter for 1567 has to be considered, and the scientific debate is still open. This is the trait-d'union between Clavius and ESOP annual meeting. The city of Pescara and the region of Abruzzo are presented with an historical, climatic, religious and gastronomical outline.
