Christmas spirit reaches all the way into space at the Ole Rømer Observatory in Aarhus, where Science Museerne invites you to an evening of stargazing. On clear nights you can look at the season's stars and planets through Denmark's largest telescope. The guide may turn to the Moon's craters, the rings of Saturn, a distant galaxy or a constellation visible from outside.
If clouds cover the sky, the evening moves indoors. Among the observatory's nooks, the guide shares stories about life in the universe, current space travel and the history of the observatory, with striking images from the great space telescopes. The show goes ahead whatever the weather, so bring your astronomy questions and warm clothes.
