What is the output involved?
Introductory activity to astronomy, where with the help of a laser pointer we will learn to recognize the types of stars and the constellations present in the sky, and the mythology, tales and legends that these carry associates A telescope observation will also be made (Schmidt-Cassegrain LX200GPS 8 ", 20.3cm in diameter of objective), where besides being able to observe planets of the solar system, we can also See other objects much more distant like nebulae, globular clusters and other galaxies. Durant the activity will be talking about the different objects present in the Universe and we will answer questions and questions that can be rising.
That night we can enjoy the observation of two spiral galaxies, the great Andromeda M31 Galaxy that is 2.2 million light years away and the no less spectacular galaxy of the Triangle M33. Both are spiral-shaped galaxies. We can also see the presence of the two most brilliant planets Mars and Venus, and we will see how the main constellations of the winter sky come out. We will also resolve all doubts and questions that may arise during the activity.
It is recommended to carry warm clothes, and whoever wants a sandwich for dinner.
