Astronomical Observation in Loulé (11/04/2008)



Last night there was an astronomical observation at Escola Secundária de Loulé.
The sky was usually clear but with some occasional clouds. A crescent Moon was the first object to be observed. It was possible to see Saturn, Mars, M42 (Orion Nebula), Mizar and Alcor, The double star Polaris and several other stars. The adult students from the school's night classes had a chance to see the Moon and Saturn.

This astronomical observation is also part of the project PVI-310 "Por trás do céu azul" of Program Ciência Viva.
