In this special night, Pedro Russo, of Leiden University and Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço, is pleased to invite you to a special meeting, where we will discuss some of the most inspiring and relevant topics in space exploration.
This month, Noites no Observatório celebrate their 9th anniversary, in a session that promises to be a celebration full of surprises.
After the public talk (in Portuguese), there will be a music and effects show projected on the planetary dome, and observations of the night sky with telescopes will run continuously until midnight, if weather conditions allow (guided tours available in English).
Throughout 2019, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), celebrates its 100 years of existence. The Noites no Observatório participate in this celebration joining, during the whole year, the many events and projects happening all over the world.
Noites no Observatório are organised by the Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço, in partnership with the Planetário Calouste Gulbenkian – Centro de Ciência Viva.

Registration
Despite the event being free of charge, the access to the activity requires a registration here.
Please beware:
1) Due to the growing audience attending our activities and the fact that some people give up without notice, up to two emails will be sent asking for confirmation. The lack of a reply within 48 hours after the reception of this confirmation request will be taken as a dropout and the registration will be cancelled. For this reason, please check your email inbox regularly in order to confirm your attendance in the activity.
2) You will need to pick a registration ticket at the entrance of the Planetário Calouste Gulbenkian between 9pm and 9:25pm on the day of the event. After 9:25pm, the tickets which have not been taken will be given to people on the waiting list and, on a first come first served basis, to people without registration.
Important:
The observation of the night sky depends on the weather conditions. As this is run outside, we recommend the use of warm clothes.
The talk is given regardless of the observations. The Calouste Gulbenkian Planetarium will open its doors half an hour before the event starts.
The public talk is given in Portuguese. Observations of the night sky are available in English.
