Astronomical observation suitable for everyone

The seas, mountains, and craters of our satellite like you have never seen them before. Come and observe the Moon in the phase most suitable for capturing the details of its surface, accompanied by the guidance of experts.

On this evening, our satellite will present itself in the first quarter phase, which is the best for telescope observation, as it offers a play of shadows that transforms the lunar landscape into a breathtaking three-dimensional world. The goal will therefore not only be to “look at” the Moon, but to virtually fly over and map its surface with a very high level of detail, allowing us to explore a geologically complex and extraordinarily fascinating world.

We will focus the Center’s instruments mainly on the terminator, the line of demarcation between light and shadow, where long shadows reveal the depth of the craters and the height of the peaks. So let’s prepare to see the Moon like we have never seen it before through the use of high-resolution instruments!

For the satisfaction and curiosity of the guests, a telescope equipped with a specific attachment will be set up, which anyone can use with their mobile phone to capture our natural satellite. For those who wish, there will also be available, for a small contribution to finance the various activities, a beautiful detailed reproduction of the Moon created in 1958 by the astrophile Guido Ruggieri.

The event will take place even in case of bad weather.
