Explore the Stars: Sunset and Wine at Observatory
Explore the Stars: Sunset and Wine at Observatory
Chile enjoys more than 300 clear days a year and conditions are often ideal for stargazing under open skies. For a truly close encounter with the planets, this is an excursion not to be missed.
This is a fascinating tour to the residence of a Chilean astronomer who has built the closest private observatory to Santiago in the foothills of the Andes. The evening will include a talk about the stars and constellations that can be seen in the southern hemisphere.
You will then be able to view the Universe through a variety of telescopes both before and after sunset. Depending on the time of year, we can see different planets, stars, clusters and nebulae. Venus and Mercury almost always see each other. We can also see Jupiter and its moons in permanent motion, as well as Mars and Saturn with their rings.
Afterwards, you will be served wine and a variety of cheeses and snacks as you discuss the wonders you have seen in the Chilean skies. This is a very entertaining activity for couples, families, and people of all ages!
