🗓️ About the event
Page dedicated to the participation in the IX Brazilian Fair of Scientific Initiation (FEBIC), in Pomerode (SC).
Maycon Jorge Deláqua da Silva and I represented IFF Bom Jesus do Itabapoana with the project “Simulating the impact of satellites on astronomical observations”, about how artificial satellites cause light pollution and harm astronomical observations. We placed 3rd in the Undergraduate category, even with the project still incomplete and competing against more advanced, already patented applications — a result that also qualified us for MCTIA 2025, in Belém (PA).
