Star observation at Astropark Troodos
House Of Science - Home of Science invites us to experience an unforgettable experience under Troodos' magnificent, starry sky!
A night of lectures, skygraphy and observation through telescopes await us to discover the beauty and secrets of the universe!
Telescope – Together we regulate our telescopes. I met the different types of telescopes and their basic principles of operation. Practical advice on the correct use and correct selection of equipment for beginners and advanced.
Nightlife Biodiversity – Photopollution – A presentation on the phenomenon of light pollution, its causes and consequences, as well as realistic solutions to protect the night sky. With us Mr. Michael Papacharalambous from the Forestry Department
Rainbow Targets – Analytical presentation of the celestial objects that we will observe through telescopes: planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. What they are, how we track them and why they deserve our attention.
Uranography – Our guide the night sky! We learn to locate the main constellations and the brightest stars, discovering the myths and stories behind them.
At 21:30, with the coming of darkness, Star observation will begin. In addition to our telescopes available for observation by everyone, friends who have their own equipment are welcome to bring it. If you will bring your own telescope it is particularly important to come before the event begins (19:00) so that we can help you assemble if necessary.
Even if you will not bring your own equipment, please warmly as you arrive before 20:00. Not only because lectures will be very interesting, but also because car lights will be extremely disturbing to those who have adapted their eyesight to the dark.
Due to the inconvenience caused by the lights of cars, our warm request is to leave the site at specific times and in groups. Those who wish to see only the presentations will be able to leave at 21:30, while the first departure after observation will take place at 23:00.
