Description
Explore the cosmos from the coastline of Menorca. Admire the night sky in a Starlight Reserve with a guide and telescope.
Discover the beauty of stars at a Starlight Reserve that is far away from the light pollution of the city. Look up in wonder at the night sky and peer through a powerful professional Explore Scientific 305 telescope. Select a tour in Son Saura Beach or Cala Viola de Ponent Beach in Es Mercadal.
Choose from options that focus on different aspects of the sky like Saturn or the center of the Milky Way. Work with a certified guide that will take you on a space journey. Identify the main constellations visible on that night. On moonlit nights, observe its craters and learn how they were formed.
Hear mythological tales of characters like Hercules, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, the Bears, and Draco. Orient yourself in the sky to make star leaps, applying the principles of positional astronomy. See deep space objects through the telescope (open clusters, globular clusters, binary stars, etc.).
