Entry 5 \u20ac, free for members and children <\/p>\n
On Saturday, April 5th at 9 PM, the Moon will present itself in excellent conditions, at the First Quarter and very high on the horizon, allowing it to be observed, if the seeing is good, at very high resolution. Initially, all telescopes will be pointed at it. In particular, the \u201cmedium\u201d telescope at the Center, the 36 cm Newton, will be connected to a planetary camera that will film our satellite live and display the image on a large screen, available simultaneously to all visitors.<\/p>\n
With the \u201clarge\u201d telescope of the Center, the 64 cm Dobson, it will be possible to push visual high resolution to the maximum, using 500 magnifications and, if conditions allow, even 800. We will particularly attempt to glimpse the thin groove, only 600 m in diameter, that runs along the bottom of the Alpine Valley, which will present itself in ideal lighting conditions for the endeavor. Furthermore, the craters Aristoteles and Eudoxus, Aristillus and Autolycus, the Caucasus mountain range, the beginning of the Apennines, the Rimae Hyginus, the craters Rheticus, Hipparchus and Albategnius, Werner and Aliacensis, Walter and Stoeffler, Licetus and Heraclitus will be well visible from north to south. It will also be possible to take a look at Jupiter, although lower on the horizon than in the winter months, and some contrastively colored double stars, such as Winter Albireo, Iota Cancri, and Algieba. In case of bad weather, the best footage collected by members of lunar landscapes will be projected at the planetarium.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, April 12th at 9 PM, Gabriele Vanin will hold a children\u2019s evening titled \u201cThe Game of Constellations,\u201d during which the little ones will be interactively involved in building \u201cliving\u201d models to understand, in a fun way, the positions and movements of the Sun, Earth, Moon, planets, and stars. If the weather is also nice, from an observational point of view it will be an evening characterized by the presence of the bright full Moon, which will also provide an additional opportunity for interactive experience with the children and their companions, which we will not reveal and will therefore be a surprise. It will also be possible to observe colorful stars through the telescope, such as Regulus, as well as colorfully double and multiple stars. A bright pass of the Chinese Space Station Tiangong will also be observed.<\/p>\n
Finally, on Saturday, April 26th at 9 PM, the first of the evenings that will take place throughout the rest of the year on the last Saturday of the month, free admission, will occur, dedicated to those, members and non-members, who want to learn how to use the instruments of the Center, or also bring and have explained how to use their own. In case of bad weather, visitors can still ask, indoors, for guidance on the functioning of their own instruments, and the sky of the month will be presented at the planetarium, with slides and videos.<\/p>\n
