See stars and planets and moons up close at the Ole Rømer Observatory ✨🌛🌕🪐Programme:
20:15: We meet outside the observatory in Marselisborg
20:30-22:00: An expert will give a short introduction to astronomy and the history of the observatory. If the night is clear we will gaze at starts and planets through the observatory's telescopes. We will explore the landscape of the moon, gaze into the Andromeda galaxy, spot a planet or two and maybe find a binary star. If it is cloudy, the guide will take you through the galaxy through storytelling an pictures 🌌🌟
Note: Bring warm clothes and good shoes, the observatory can get cold and if we can find a low planet or constellation we may go outside. You can bring or buy something warm to drink (but no food!) ☕️
About the observatory:
Ole Rømer was a Danish astronomer from Aarhus who in 1676 made the first quantative measurements of the speed of light. The observatory was made in his honour. It has recently been renovated and now houses the country’s biggest telescope 🔭
