The advance notice is necessary to observe two spectacular satellite passes with the naked eye, the International Space Station, right at 8:45 PM, and the Chinese Tiangong, at 8:54 PM.
The evening will invite children to unleash their imagination by forming their own personal constellations using powerful lasers, based on the stars that gradually light up in the sky. In fact, there is no mandatory path for identifying groups and connections between them. On the contrary, many are surprised to hear that the sky can reveal figures of heroes, animals, mythical or real, and objects of various kinds. Moreover, different cultures in the past have seen different groups and constellations in the sky compared to ours, with other stories and myths.
We will also discover that behind the various star groups, there often lie not real things, but seasonal indicators or symbolic-sacred representations. Through the telescope, we will observe nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, the beautiful Pleiades, even with the naked eye, the planet Saturn, and much more.
In case of bad weather, the lesson can still take place in the same manner, without any loss of meaning, under the dome of the planetarium. The observational part through the telescope will be replaced with the viewing of spectacular videos.
