Observation of the Sun, Saturn and Jupiter (Europark’s upper parking lot), demonstration of sundials and the construction of simple sundials (the interior of Europark)

During the daytime we will observe the Sun through the telescopes, and in the evening the Saturn and Jupiter. During the observation, we will present the main characteristics of the Sun and the two planets and their special features. The interested participants will also be able to record the Sun and both planets using smartphones and Canon or Nikon DSLR cameras. As to the workshops inside Europark, the participants will make different types of sundials and get acquainted with the principles of sundial construction and its functioning. Some results of the AD Orion members’ activities will also be presented. 

Researchers: Assist. Prof. Igor Žiberna, Nataša Petelin
