The Campaign for the Pleiades: speaker Gabriele Vanin<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, the Pleiades are one of the most beautiful celestial objects, perhaps the most beautiful and evocative of the entire sky. Their characteristic shape, their unusual composition, their subtle yet entirely evident glow never fail to impress even those who approach the sky for the first time and even those who casually glance at the firmament.<\/p>\n
Accompanying all this are intriguing and mysterious traits, which encompass all various aspects, including their names. One of the most fascinating mysteries concerns the fact that all ancient sources say that sometimes six Pleiades can be seen with the naked eye, sometimes seven. This has fueled the so-called Legend of the Lost Pleiad, present in many cultures around the world.<\/p>\n
To try to understand the foundations of this myth, visitors throughout the autumn-winter will be invited to draw on a sheet all the Pleiades they can see with the naked eye, along with their correct positions. Naturally, the stars will also be observed through a telescope where they will appear even more spectacular. Other deep-sky objects will be shown, such as the Double Cluster in Perseus, the Andromeda Galaxy, and then the planet Saturn.<\/p>\n
At the planetarium, there will be more discussion about the Pleiades, providing a wealth of information about the mythology and astronomy of this wonderful object.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
