LA FESTA DELLA LUNA
Osservatorio Astronomico di Punta Falcone
The Punta Falcone Astronomical Observatory becomes a privileged observation point for the 'Festa della Luna', the Italian event of the International Observe the Moon Night promoted by NASA and nationally by UAI. This year it falls on the 'Harvest Moon', the first full moon after the autumn equinox. From late morning until late night, the Associazione Astrofili di Piombino and Microcosmo offer activities for the whole family: it starts with solar observation and guided tours of the Riservetta and the Sommi Picenardi battery. The central moment is at sunset, when you can watch the Moonrise and observe Saturn and the objects of the autumn sky through the telescopes provided. The evening ends with a video screening dedicated to the Moon and eclipses, to tell curiosities and science under the September sky.
