Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of astronomy with the 'Bring Your Telescope' workshop at the Planetarium of Bogotá. This unique event invites you to explore the night sky guided by expert astronomers, in a setting designed to spark your scientific curiosity. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, you will learn to calibrate, focus, and get the most out of your astronomical equipment.
The session begins with a theoretical introduction to the fundamentals of astronomical observation, followed by a practical outdoor session (weather permitting) where you can point your telescope at planets, stars, and constellations visible that date. The atmosphere is relaxed and collaborative, perfect for sharing knowledge with fellow enthusiasts.
We recommend bringing your own telescope, warm and comfortable clothing, and a red light flashlight to preserve night vision. Arrive 15 minutes early to register your equipment and find your spot. The Planetarium has nearby parking and public transport access (TransMilenio Museo Nacional station).
The Planetarium of Bogotá is a benchmark in science communication in Colombia, with over 50 years of history. Its team of astronomers and educators guarantees an authentic and memorable learning experience. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with the universe!
