Exploring the sky to understand the Universe

The sky and its observation are the sources of the universal issues that inspire our vision and scientific research, and the space-time perspective of the dome becomes the arena in which everyone's curiosity is tested, through visual investigation, listening and personal expression.

The visit for schools, for students from primary school to university, consists of two parts: both take place in the dome, but with different methods of communication and involvement. The first part is a show in which the live narration emphasises the didactic elements of astronomy, while maintaining the typical style of astronomical storytelling. The language and level of detail are adapted to the age of the students and the school curriculum.

The second part is an extension service that provides the school groups with a direct contact, a window for informal dialogue with the astronomer, to answer specific questions and requests from students and teachers under the starry canopy of the planetarium, which shows how observing the sky helps to understand the universe.
