What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the darkness of the night in Formentera and embark on a journey through the universe with your feet on the ground. This astronomical observation experience is designed for those who want to look at the sky with different eyes, learn to navigate constellations, and contemplate celestial objects with a professional telescope.

You'll start with an introductory talk of about 20 minutes, where you'll learn what you'll be observing that night and how to prepare to get the most out of the session. Then, the group gets ready for the observation, and the most exciting part begins: through the telescope, you'll be able to see, depending on conditions and visibility, the Moon, planets, and other bodies of the Solar System, as well as star clusters and distant galaxies.

As the sky unfolds above you, your guide will help you spot ancient constellations—including references to ancestral traditions—and tell you stories from Greek mythology to understand the origin of many figures in the sky. To complete the experience, an immersive component with virtual reality glasses is also included, and together you'll take photographs of what you see through the telescope, as well as snapshots of the moment to take home as a souvenir.

To maintain the quality of the observation, the use of mobile phones is not allowed during telescopic viewing. You just need to bundle up and let yourself be carried away by a night of science, stories, and wonder under the stars.
