The spring sky with the moon. A session to get to know the sky and the stars in the Parc del Garraf

Come to the Garraf Park Astronomical Observatory to learn how to orient yourself in the sky, how to recognise the main constellations, which are the main guest stars of the current season, and how they move in the sky

An ideal session to get to know the sky and stars that you can see tonight and the following nights. So that you can continue practising on your own afterwards. How to find your way around the sky, how to recognise the main constellations, which are the main guest stars of the current season, how the sky moves and the main stars.

 

The activity, which lasts almost two hours, is divided into three parts:

1- Planetarium Session: Inside the Planetarium it gets dark, we notice the apparent movement of the sky which helps us to orientate ourselves, we identify bright stars, we get to know constellations, we recognise planets.... Without realising it, a whole night will pass.
2- Observation of the sky with the naked eye: We will learn to orientate ourselves by using a celestial chart. And with the help of a tellurium and a laser pointer we will learn to locate the stars and constellations currently visible.
3- Observation with a telescope:  Moon and some deep sky object.

 

Price: Adults 22 €, Children up to 12 years 16 €

 

It is necessary to book at garraf@planetari.cat specifying number of adult/children bookings and contact name and telephone number.
