Discover the universe from one of the best skies in Europe
With this experience you will be able to enjoy the skies of the Ambroz-Cá parra territory, one of the best skies in Europe for its low light pollution.
Guided by an astronomical monitor certified by the Starlight Foundation and, after an introduction to the unique environment that surrounds us, we will make an approach to the celestial bóveda, learn to orient ourselves in the night sky, recognize the main constellations visible, know curiosities of the Solar System and end with some legend about the mythology that lies behind the constellations.
The talk will be accompanied by dynamics that will surprise young and old and will help them to better understand the explanations.
Afterwards, we will be able to observe through high-end telescopes the most interesting celestial objects visible that night: planets of the Solar System, the seas and craters of the Moon and deep sky objects such as star clusters or galaxies.
Finally, you will have a souvenir of the activity in the form of a photograph, either with your own mobile phone through the telescope or a group photo at the end of the session.
