Itinerary

In this experience you will learn to orient yourself in the sky, recognize the stars and constellations and discover the secrets of the sky through a powerful telescope. Our particular trip will last about 2 hours and will begin with a naked-eye tour of the constellations and the stories hidden in their stars: you will learn to find the North Stars, recognize the constellations of the Zodiac and distinguish the stars from the planets. The rest of the night you will spend observing the sky through a huge 30 cm aperture telescope. Each night will be different: you may see the Moon, the planets of our Solar System, double stars or even galaxies. But what is certain is that you will be surprised by the clusters of thousands of stars in the Milky Way and you will be excited by the nebulae where stars are born and die. The observation will be guided at all times by an astronomer, who will explain all the details in a clear and simple way. And, being small groups, you will be able to observe many times through the telescope.
