The Texel observatory De jager
Come to the observatory of Volkssterrenwacht De Jager next to Ecomare and admire the night sky through a telescope! The astronomers will be happy to explain what you see. They will focus on the moon, meteors, galaxies, star clusters, nebulae and the planet Venus and perhaps Uranus. In cloudy weather, it will not take place. Due to possible crowds, you are expressly requested to sign up. During the weekend of science and the Night of the Night, there are free viewing evenings. Time: from 7.30 p.m. Cost: €2 per person, donors and OSG pupils free. More information and registration at: www.oriontexel.nl Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
