Jupiter and Saturn are now beautifully visible during the long dark evenings. And if you’re lucky, you can see the Andromeda Galaxy.
During the open viewing evening, which starts at Het Groene Huis, there will be various presentations on stars, planets, telescopes, astrophotography, black holes and the universe. You can also ask the observatory members all your questions about the universe, telescopes and the activities of the Netherlands Central Observatory.
