Description

We offer you a very special night observing the sky through a huge telescope and guided by an expert astronomer. On the Star Tour, you will learn how to find your way around the sky, recognize stars and constellations, and discover the secrets of the sky through a powerful telescope. Our unique journey will last about 2 hours and will begin with a tour of the constellations and the stories behind their stars: you will learn how to find the North Star, recognize the constellations of the Zodiac, and distinguish stars from planets. The rest of the night will be spent observing the sky through a huge 30 cm aperture telescope. Every 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 amazed by the clusters of thousands of stars in the Milky Way and thrilled 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, as the groups are small, you will be able to look through the telescope many times.
