A plate dedicated to Guido Horn d’Arturo, father of segmented mirrors

November, 10 2018 – INAF dedicated the ASTRI telescope to the astronomer Guido Horn d’Arturo with a ceremony and application of a plate.

Horn is the creator of segmented mirrors. By chance or maybe not, Horn worked at the Catania  Astrophysical Observatory when the Institute was based in the premises of the current Benedictine Monastery exhibition area.
