Programme

  • Before dinner there will be a presentation of the activity and we will observe the planet Venus.
  • The celestial sphere moves to our eyes, but what really moves is the Earth, which rotates from west to east. That is why we see the stars or planets appear in the east and hide in the west.
  • A little walk to watch the twilight
  • A sea of stars and the Milky Way overhead
  • To recognise the four cardinal planetary points.
  • The brightest stars
  • Spring, summer, autumn and winter constellations.
  • Celestial objects
  • The planisphere for locating the stars with the naked eye
  • The sky and constellations of the month
  • The stars tell us what the weather conditions are like.

Andromeda, Auriga, Bootes, Canes Venatici, Coma Berenices, Corona Borealis, Cygnus, Hercules, Leo Minor, Lyra, Pegasus, Perseus, Sagitta, Triangulum and Vulpecula.

The Draconid meteor shower is one of the most outstanding showers, occurring in the month of October, although its peak intensity will be between Thursday 8 and Friday 9 October,

On these dates there will also be the passage of comet 21 / P Giacobini-Zinner, from which the Draconids are derived. Shooting stars" are, in fact, generated by debris and dust that burns when it comes into contact with the Earth's atmosphere...
