Details:
A kettle of hot “Bedouin style” desert tea will keep us warm as we watch stars and constellations using a telescope. We will get familiar with main constellations, try to grasp the huge distances in the universe, and get a taste of ancient mythology stories associated with prominent constellations.

We will understand how the night sky changes during the night and across seasons, and learn how to orientate ourselves and find the north using the stars.
