Event Details

NO NIGHT SKY WALK ON THE 6TH SEPTEMBER DUE TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS…
After a 20 min. walk on a stony dirtroad we settle down on an elevated place right in the middle of cape Xarraca (no cliffs, no drops). We will be lying under the milkyway while our eyes adjust to the darkness.
Etiennes starts with general information about the milkyway, lightyears, stars and planets, followed by a “skywalk”, naming stars, constellations and zodiac signs. We will learn to find the northstar  and have a glimpse at our closest neighbour galaxy Andromeda.  Saturn is our planet of the night since Mars and Jupiter rise later, at 01.00 h.
! There is a chance to spot a nova, a cosmic explosion, with the naked eye! That occurs every 80 years and is due now. Fingers crossed !
Please bring a mat or cushion to sit on and a torchlight as we are walking at night.

DATE & TIME:
Friday, 6th September – 22.00h

MEETING POINT:
Parking of Cala Xarraca beach. From here we will drive for 5 minutes to the starting point of the walk.
