Da luneta de Galileu ao telescópio espacial Hubble: contributos do desenvolvimento tecnológico na divulgação da História da Astronomia
O interesse e entusiasmo do público por diversos temas científicos, nomeadamente os relacionados com a astronomia, tem sido crescente e cada vez mais generalizado. Nos últimos 400 anos, desde Galileu, os astrónomos procuram observar e interpretar o universo, construindo telescópios cada vez mais poderosos e precisos. Estes incríveis instrumentos estendem as potencialidades de um dos nossos sentidos mais importantes, a visão, em direção a novos limites, transformando e aprimorando a nossa compreensão do cosmos. O telescópio espacial Hubble exerce um fascínio particular sobre o público de todas as idades e, dessa forma, contribui fortemente para a divulgação da ciência e da astronomia, pelas imagens que encantam o público em geral. O presente documento apresenta um panorama dos contributos do desenvolvimento tecnológico na divulgação da história da astronomia a partir de uma revisão de literatura, oferecendo uma reflexão sobre esse legado e a perspetiva de continuidade dessa história que desafia a humanidade.

Are new pandemics a historical fate of human evolution? Education and the contribution from a geoethical perspective
The world is overcoming an unprecedented challenge with the COVID-19 pandemic’s worldwide spread. Epidemics and pandemics are part of history. The oldest records are related to the plague of Athens in 430 BC and throughout times numerous other diseases affected humankind, devastating societies. Nowadays, the global world allows rapid communication and potential spread of new pandemics. The Anthropocene epoch, in which humans significantly interfere in the Earth system, can also accelerate their emergence, forcing us to be innovative and proactive. Our enormous scientific and technological development is a huge advantage, providing us with knowledge and various tools to defeat the new incoming threats. Nevertheless, knowing the historical scientific facts is fundamental to understand the present and anticipating the future. Geoethics reflects on the values underlying behaviours and practices that interfere with the way human beings relate to the Earth system. It conceptualises an interdisciplinary approach within geosciences, history, philosophy and sociology and additionally it is closely related to sustainable development. Enhancing awareness of our role as responsible citizens and improving scientific knowledge are essential goals to achieve quality in education and the preservation of life on Earth. Historical scientific events must be harnessed to provide a more holistic and geoethical education.
