Night under the Stars

We warmly invite all astronomy enthusiasts to the Astronomical Observatory of the Jagiellonian University for "Night under the Stars" on the dates given below.

We hope that this will not only generate enthusiasm for science, but also cut the seeming gap between scientists and the public. We believe that it is inherently human to look at the night sky and experience a great sense of awe. The vastness of the universe can make people feel modest and small, but when people begin to understand how it works, it can be the happiest and most satisfying endevaour one can embark on.
