We invite you to an evening of astronomical observations dedicated to the transition from summer constellations to autumn ones.
Under the clear sky of September we will discover together:
✨ The Summer Triangle: Lyra, Cygnus and Vulture, along with their bright stars;
✨ The autumn constellations: Pegasus, Andromeda and Hercules, with their fascinating stories and legends;
✨ The planet Saturn, with its spectacular ring system, visible through a telescope;
✨ The Andromeda Galaxy, the closest neighbor of the Milky Way, visible even with the naked eye.
The event has as a special guest the Mobile Astronomical Observatory – COȚMIC
The atmosphere will combine accessible explanations with practical observations through telescopes. Everything is suitable for both those who are looking at the starry sky for the first time and for astronomy enthusiasts.
