Overview

Possibly for the first time in your life. Admire and understand more about jewelries of the Universe: craters on Moon, Venus phases, Jupiter's satellites, Saturn's rings, stars, constellations, double and binary stars Alcor and Mizar, Hercules' stellar cluster, Orion nebula, the great Andromeda galaxy, Leo galaxy groups, how the stars are born and why "we are stardust"? The observing spot will be a dark sky located in a beautiful mountain region of La Palma island, the first world Starlight Reserve, which hosts some of the largest world telescopes in the astronomical observatory "Roque de los Muchachos".
