"Javier Peralta and Emmanuel Kardasis, winners of the II Javier Gorosabel ProAm Collaboration Award"

The winning team presented a study of the atmosphere of Venus and in particular of the discontinuity previously discovered by Javier Peralta in data from the Akatsuki mission. The observations were obtained by a team of amateur astronomers from several countries.. In them, the reappearance of said discontinuity was discovered and its evolution was monitored in 2019-2020. This is a very original ProAm research work, presented very clearly in the report of the call and supported by a scientific publication. This publication was led by Emmanuel Kardasis, the first of the amateur astronomers in this collaboration who observed the discontinuity of Venus when it underwent an intensification process during the month of March 2020. It is necessary to highlight the necessary involvement on the part of the amateur field to obtain , continuously, images of Venus of sufficient quality to study the evolution of features in its atmosphere, highlighting that discontinuity in its cloud layer, exclusively using amateur telescopes.

"Cetherean Secrets", article on July 2022 issue of "Sky & Telescope" magazine

The article presents my contribution on the Venus' Cloud Discontinuity phenomenon on the PRO-AM Conjunction column of the magazine. It refers to our PRO-AM paper published in the journal "Atmosphere" and the background story that led to the article.

Jury special recognition at the :2013 European Planetary Science Congress, London, UK.   


Nominated for the Europlanet prize of 2013 by the professional astronomer Padma Yanamandra-Fischer, and supported by the astronomers  E. Chatzichristou, A. Christou  and  J. Rogers.

 The Europlanet Outreach Steering Committee (OSC) awarded with a jury special recognition:

“The OSC was extremely impressed by the range of activities undertaken by Emmanuel Kardasis. Emmanuel Kardasis is one of the few very skilled amateur astronomers that has initiated a deep and fruitful collaboration with professional astronomers. Thanks to him and his amateur fellows, amateur astronomers are now recognized by professional astronomers as extremely important for the creation of new knowledge in the field of planetary sciences, but also for the dissemination of the results in planetary sciences, and fascination for the wonders of the Solar System towards the general public. The OSC acknowledged that Emmanuel Kardasis has been himself one of the most active and inspiring amateur astronomers in performing such activities, and that his efforts have been self funded.”
