Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) will be present in the Party in Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, in Lisboa.
These will be the activities offered by IA for families:
Visions of light

With the stars between your fingers
Build a model of the distribution of the stars in some of the summer sky constellations and imagine their names if one could observe them from another viewpoint in the galaxy.
Approximate duration of 30 minutes.
Why Astronomy?
If you could investigate the Universe, what would you like to discover? How is Astronomy useful for society? Leave your answers in a collaborative panel.
