We’ll start with an introduction to astronomy, where we’ll explore its fascinating questions and answers.
Then, we’ll delve into the history of astronomy and learn how great minds have delved into the mysteries of the universe over the centuries.
We will not forget the importance of fighting against light pollution, in order to fully enjoy our observations and protect the beauty of the night sky.
We will explore the great dimensions of the universe, from the smallest objects to the stellar giants. We will study the terrestrial and celestial sphere, learning how to orient ourselves and locate celestial objects. We will learn about astronomical instrumentation, from telescopes to the most useful accessories, and we will discover the observatories that allow us to explore the universe from Earth.
We will navigate through the fascinating Solar System, with its planets, satellites and other celestial bodies that orbit around it. We will learn about the evolution of stars and their life cycles, and we will explore the incredible exoplanets that revolve around other distant stars.
We will not forget the galaxies either, the immense groups of stars that make up our universe. And we will also delve into the exciting field of astrobiology, looking for traces of life on other worlds.
