Visit
to the astronomical observatory of Libbiano
|
|
The
new powerful telescope installed in 2006
|
Tuscany is
famous for being a totally unspoiled
territory so it is the perfect place
to observe the sky at night. In its
green hills the local association of astrophiles
Astrofili Valdera manages a small
but well equipped astronomical observatory
with a powerful and advanced telescope.
It is possible to take part in one of the
meetings that the association organizes
and observe stars, planets, nebulas,
comets, the moon, the sun etc.. They
also organize extremely interesting conferences
on astronomical themes. The perfect didactic
occasion to learn about the stars during
your holidays. The tour we organize
includes a visit to the medieval
town Peccioli, a dinner in a
restaurant in town and the visit to the
observatory.
