Taking advantage of the rising full Moon at the beginning of the evening, it will be the perfect opportunity to show our young visitors a very suggestive effect presented by our satellite, which we will not reveal here to avoid spoiling the surprise, but which is called the “Moon illusion”.

The evening will continue with the observation of the Moon through telescopes and large astronomical binoculars, as well as some double and multiple stars, such as Albireo, Zeta Lyrae, 15 Aquilae, and Gamma Delphini.
