Astronomical experiences in Sierra de Gata
Starry nights
Initiation to night sky reading and observation
At first, we will familiarise ourselves with reading the sky. Guided with the help of a laser pointer, we will learn to orientate ourselves and locate the main constellations. In addition, we will understand the basics of celestial mechanics. Traveling through space and time, we will locate the different elements that make up the celestial vault.
Afterward, we will observe the sky with telescopes. Putting into practice what we have just learnt, we will guide you by interpreting the different celestial objects.
Practical aspects:
The activity lasts about 2h 30mins.
It is done with two telescopes: one for planetary observation and the other for the deep sky.
This activity can be done at observation sites or in private spaces.
Astronomical evenings
Solar observation, lecture, dinner, initiation to sky reading, and night observation
Would you like to take a long dip in the stars and enter the world of astronomy by seeing its different facets?
The astronomical evenings are the most complete experiences we offer.
They begin at dusk and end ... when Morpheus invites you to rest.
They combine solar observation, an introductory talk on astronomy with projection on a screen, a dinner or tasting followed by the "Night of Stars ", experience, i.e. an introduction to reading the sky and night-time observation with telescopes.
Practical aspects:
This activity is designed to be carried out in collaboration with a company in the tourism sector, such as a hotel, a restaurant, or a caterer.
Please contact us to establish a proposal adapted to your needs.
Astronomical talks
In different forms
Astronomy covers many fields, and the public may have different areas of interest and levels of knowledge. Moreover, science is constantly evolving. For these reasons, we have developed different talks:
- The Universe in one hour
- Life and death of stars
- Exoplanets: Is there life outside the solar system?
- Human inventions to help understand the Universe.
We will continue to develop new talks following the evolution of discoveries in the world of astronomy and responding to the interests of the people who come to our activities.
Dissemination in educational centres
Workshops and talks. Playful activities to develop competencies.
Education is one of our main areas of work and, above all, our passion. We offer activities aimed at generating skills and knowledge, playfully, related to science and astronomy. But, above all, our goal is to generate passion for knowledge.
