To mark the 30th anniversary of Carl Sagan’s death, the Palace of Science will host Sagan Frontiers – Carl Sagan Month in Serbia 2026, organised by the Institute of Physics Belgrade and the Astronomical Observatory Belgrade. Through a series of lectures, the programme will pay tribute to one of the most influential science communicators, whose work helped deepen our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
COSMOS – Where Are We? is the first lecture in the series. It will be delivered by Slobodan Bubnjević, a physicist, science journalist, author, and science communicator with many years of experience making physics and astronomy accessible to wider audiences.
From questions about the origins and scale of the cosmos to our place on a small planet, modern science continually reshapes how we understand humanity’s position in the Universe. In the spirit of Carl Sagan, this lecture will explore how astronomy and physics push the boundaries of what we know about the world we are part of.
Join us at the Palace of Science to discover how modern science helps us understand our place in the vastness of the cosmos.
Admission to the lecture is free and no registration is required.
This lecture series is organised by the Institute of Physics Belgrade and the Astronomical Observatory Belgrade as part of an international initiative by the European Astrobiology Institute, in collaboration with Europlanet.
