Stargazing
Description
Our stargazing evening guided by stargazing coach Marianne Götsch will provide you with the basic tools to recognize popular constellations, and to use stars for navigation at night. We will learn interesting details about select constellations, their historic origin in Greek mythology, and discuss questions which are also relevant for the presence: Does modern society find value in a “dark” night, given that navigation is possible without stars, e.g. by using modern satellite technology? What is light pollution and how does this phenomenon impact our minds and bodies? An evening of star gazing with a slightly different approach… If stargazing is not possible due to weather conditions, the entire event will take place in the seminar room at Natur- und Alpinhotel Post as a constellation workshop.Registration: https://www.oetztal.com/experiences
