The visitors were lucky on Saturday evening. It was a clear night to admire Mars, Venus, Jupiter or the Moon. Visitors could look at the courtyard where some telescopes were set. Or under the dome, a trick. Both the dome and the telescope are computer -controlled and automatically focus on the celestial body that you want to see. During the star watching, the employees gave a little explanation.
Who missed the stargazing days, don’t worry. Astrolab Zillebeke will open its doors again on Saturday 29 March. Then there is a partial solar eclipse around noon.
