Stormus Connection: Stars And Hawking Medal
A unique festival, where science and art convergence has been celebrated for a long time Stars As a cinematic work that brought the secrets of astronomy physics and space to the cultural mainstream. Released in 2014, the film has been designed for its commitment for scientific accuracy and emotional depth, which has been brought into life through cooperation with the physicist.

Leonov contributes beyond cinema; They also made Stephen Hawking’s sketch This inspired the design of the Hawking medal, bridging the world of art, science and human achievement.
The birth of stricks
Arthur c. In Clarke, both science and literature, a deciding person played an important role in the origin of the storage. In 2001 and 2002, the founder of Starmus, Dr. His conversation with Garric Israelian inspired the project, known then known “Music of stars,” Which Dr. Brian developed in the Stormas festival in collaboration with May. Many years later Brian ANO composed a track using the same stars library. Clarke’s support of this initiative underlined his life passion to connect science and arts, which has become one of the most unique science festivals in the world.
