Do you like astronomy? Or do you just like stargazing or want to experience something unusual? Have you ever observed the universe with a professional telescope?
On Friday, 11 October at 7 p.m. in the exteriors of Devín Castle, in cooperation with professionals from the Slovak Astronomers’ Union, you will have the opportunity to observe the night sky and point a telescope at celestial objects such as Jupiter, the Moon, binary stars, as well as deep space objects – galaxies or nebulae. 🪐
Bring your own flashlight, torch or headlamp with red light function to the event.

19.30 – start of the guided tour of the night sky

☔️ In case of unfavourable meteorological situation the date is subject to change.
Additional information and recommendations:
🧦 Warm clothing and footwear are recommended. The event will take place in the exterior of Devín Castle, in the winter months and after dark the temperature may feel low.
🚨 For the best viewing experience, please use only red light throughout the event, which will not interfere with the eye’s adjustment to darkness. After illuminating the eye with the white light of a flashlight or cell phone display, it takes at least 20 minutes for the eye to adapt to the dark again.
🔦 If you can’t get a flashlight with a red light, wrap a regular flashlight with red cellophane, red foil, or red cloth.
⚠️ This event is suitable for children aged 5 and over with a ticket purchase required.
Join us for a beautiful evening full of fascinating views of the night sky.
We look forward to your participation!
