This activity integrates two components, theoretical and practical, the first dedicated to concepts and basic notions and the second to observation. The North Star is the queen of the night, used as a reference point to locate and identify constellations, this star plays a fundamental role in the history of navigation, among other applications.
The night promises to unveil many other curiosities, such as the relationship between the color of a star, visible to the naked eye, and its temperature and age, or the formation of craters on the moon.
