Tomorrow, October 5, Astronomy Day will be celebrated around the world. Traditionally, the Ufa city planetarium will join the holiday. On October 5, portable telescopes will be installed in the square in front of the planetarium, and free observation of celestial bodies will be organized.

“In the afternoon, from 12 pm to 2 pm, Ufa residents will be able to look at the Sun through the special Coronado SolarMax II 90 solar telescope, which allows you to see not only spots on the surface of the Sun but also such phenomena as flashes, threads, and prominences on the edge of the solar disk,” the planetarium press service informs. “Evening observations of the moon will begin at 7.30 pm. Let’s hope that the weather will be nice, the sky will be clear and the Ufa people will see lunar craters and mountains casting clear shadows and dark spots of waterless lunar seas through the telescope eyepiece”.

On the same day at 6 pm, a lecture “Contact with Space” with a demonstration of the full-dome program “Space Quiz” will be held in the star hall. Full member of the Russian Cosmonautics Federation Alexei Allikas will share his knowledge about space. He will tell schoolchildren dreaming about space how to realize their interests.
