Discover the magnificent skies
During the activity of stargazing with a telescope, you will have the opportunity to live a unique experience of contact with nature: in its nocturnal aspect, the look at infinity. The activity begins with a general explanation of the apparent movement of the sky, and you will learn to identify the most important constellations and some of their ancestral legends. Depending on the dates, we can focus on observing deep sky objects (galaxies, nebulae, star clusters), planets, or the Moon. You will also have your moments of peace and silence between explanations, so that you can savor the moment without rushing. Enjoy the feeling of intimacy with the Universe that reveals its secrets, the silence of contemplation, the pleasure of learning and listening to the knowledge we have of the sky, thanks to our guide and astronomical technician.
Come with us to discover the sky of Guara Somontano!
