The name GAL Hassin is therefore a play of words that has the double value of remembering the territory in which the Center rises and of recalling our Gal-axy that from Isnello is well visible.<\/h5>

\n The great quality of the sky is indeed one of the characteristics of these places, so much so that in the 1970s the locality of Piano Battaglia, within the Madonie Park, was identified as a possible site of the Galileo National Telescope (TNG, now at Roque de Los Muchachos, La Palma, Canary Islands).
\r\n
\r\nAfter many years that quality, which has remained intact, has prompted the Municipality of Isnello to promote a Center for Research and Outreach and Communication of Astronomical Sciences.
\r\nIn November 2009 the Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning (CIPE) financed the project.
\r\nGAL Hassin was inaugurated on 11 September 2016 and since then has continued to grow with the aim of becoming an important reference center for research, teaching and scientific outreach in the Mediterranean.
\r\n
\r\nWe succeeded because we were moved by strong conviction, great tenacity and great passion. After all, “the best things are achieved with the utmost passion<\/em>” said J. W. Goethe.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
