Description:
This tour consists of a talk along Los Cancajos Promenade, where you will experiment in first person the big distances among planets during a virtual tour through our Solar System.
One of our guides will lead you in this fascinating journey through the Universe, telling you the history of the formation of the Sun and planets, revealing the secrets of Venus' volcanoes and the ice under the surface of Mars, the mysteries of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and the ones about Saturn's rings and, finally, curious anecdotes about the Moon.
You will be astonished by the enormous distance between our planet and the Sun, the closest star to Earth.
Moreover, if weather conditions are good, you will recognise the most popular constellations and the Pole Star with the help of an astronomical laser pointer and multimedia resources.
At the end of the route, there will be an astronomical surprise for you: discover it by reserving the tour now!
