While the cornerstone of any broadcasting endeavour such as Asteroid Day LIVE from Luxembourg are its renowned speakers, we managed to secure equally high calibre hosts for the 6-hour broadcast on June 30th from Luxembourg. We are happy to officially announce them and introduce you to each one of them with this blog post.

Gianluca Masi, Italian astrophysicist with a PhD in astronomy and dedicated science communicator who started the Virtual Telescope Project in 2006, crowdsourcing observations of the universe.
