EMMANUELE
MACALUSO
(Founder of
COSMOBSERVER and MISSION DARK SKY)
Emmanuele Macaluso, is an
essayist, science communicator and one an expert on light pollution.
Fascinated since childhood by science and
the cosmos, he attended several courses in astronomy,
astrophysics and astronautics. He has
received an extensive education from the leading Italian
experts in these scientific disciplines.
In 2014, he founded the science website
COSMOBSERVER.com, with the aim of giving voice to
the protagonists of the cosmos by bringing them
closer to the general public. He interviewed
astronomers, astrophysicists, astronauts,
and science communicators.
Within months COSMOBSERVER became
an authoritative reference in the field of Italian
scientific dissemination.
Thanks to a new model of private and
public scientific dissemination COSMOBSEVER created a
voice based on the quality of the contents, the
transparent and real certification of the volumes,
created strategic partnerships, and is able to form a
real cross-media network in continuous expansion.
Macaluso is the digital public relations
officer of the astronaut Maurizio Cheli (Mission
STS-75) and collaborates with other astronauts
and researchers.
In June 2017, his article on light
pollution entitled "Light pollution: analysis of a
global problem", drew the attention of national
media and was taken up by television programs, radio,
blogs, and specialized information sources. Following
the publication of the article, Macaluso has contributed
to raising awareness to the effects of light pollution,
through public events and conferences. Thanks to his own
infotainment formula, he has informed thousands of
people throughout Italy.
Macaluso has published articles and
essays for various journals and scientific publications,
including
Le Stelle
(founded by Margherita Hack and Corrado
Lamberti).
He teaches astronautics, scientific
dissemination, communication, infotainment and marketing
for various private entities.
He is the author and the first signer of

the popular qualities "the Italian Al Gore"
was defined by the press.
