The arrival of summer, with its warm nights, leads us all to turn our gaze to the sky. In this first weekend of June, the Planetarium of L'Unione Sarda offers, in addition to its shows in its halls, two appointments for telescope observation.
The first appointment, Saturday 4 June at 6 pm in the unique context of the Antas Temple in Fluminimaggiore : "Sun and Moon in the sky of the Antas temple". In collaboration with the Startuno cooperative, astrophysicist Manuel Floris will accompany guests in observing the Sun with a telescope, to discover its impressive activity that can manifest itself with sunspots, protuberances and solar flares. Once our star has set, a powerful telescope will be aimed at the crescent moon, to admire it with its craters and lunar seas and the possibility of resuming it with a smartphone.
The second appointment with telescope observation is for Sunday 5 June at 8 pm , at the Planetarium in Viale dei Giornalisti : “The night of the Moon at the telescope”. In this event, inside the Planetarium, the most spectacular places of our natural satellite will be shown and a journey through time will be made, to discover its origin and the birth of the seas and craters. Once out in the open, you will point a powerful telescope towards the Moon and you can immortalize it with your smartphone, greatly enlarged.
