Description
Explore and discover deep space with a giant telescope in a small group of people under one of best sky in the world!
Enjoy this unique virtual trip among space!
Over the clouds at 2000 meters of altitude, a certified Starlight guide will guide you by explaining everything about the universe. After sunset, you will learn to recognise the constellations, basic celestial mechanics and the true size of our galaxy. Telescope will be then pointed through interstellar and intergalactic space to see huge nebulaes of gas forming new stars, remnants of supernovae explosions, dense star clusters and galaxies millions of light years away.
Only a large telescope can show you this, as in a private experience, in a group of up to 10 people you will have the opportunity to observe all the best visible objects of the season, without downtime or long waits at the telescope and you will have the chance to ask all the questions you can think of. Even the most complex concepts will be clearly explained, with examples that are easy to understand even for children of at least 8 or 10 years old.
At the end a modified camera to be more sensitive to infrared will be connected to the telescope, long exposure shots will show you details and colours of objects impossible to see with the naked eye. All photos are included in the experience to have a fantastic memory of the tour, they will be emailed to you later.
Without doubts, this is the best astronomical observing experience you will have in Tenerife!
