When darkness falls, the night sky unfolds like a giant map of the universe. But how do you find your way among the stars? Which constellations can you actually see from Denmark? And how do you get the best stargazing experience?
Secrets of the Night Sky is an introductory course for anyone dreaming of understanding and exploring the night sky. Together with the Planetarium’s astrophysicist, you’ll learn how to navigate between constellations, spot planets, and uncover hidden gems like nebulae and galaxies — all with the naked eye.
We'll take you on a journey inside our unique Planetarium dome, where we can show the night sky exactly as it appears – completely free from clouds and light pollution. Here, you’ll experience the night sky like never before and enjoy an immersive adventure that brings you close to distant stars and planets as we explore the many secrets of the night sky together.
We’ll also dive into practical tips: What equipment can help you in the dark? When is the best time of year and night to look up? And where in Denmark can you find the darkest, clearest skies?
After this evening in the Planetarium dome, you’ll leave with new skills that prepare you to go on your own stargazing adventures — whether you’re in your backyard, on the beach, or far away from city lights.
Look forward to a unique and inspiring evening under the stars, where fascination and curiosity go hand in hand.
