Enjoy an Astronomical Event on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at the Paseo de Cipreses.
From 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, you will have the chance to witness a partial solar eclipse, a phenomenon in which the Moon will partially cover the Sun’s disk.
Experience the magic of the eclipse with specialized telescopes at the Museu de les Ciències. To ensure a safe experience, we will provide telescopes equipped with visible light and H-alpha filters, allowing observation of sunspots and solar flares. Additionally, the image of the Sun will be projected onto a white screen to make viewing easier for all attendees.
Experts from Nébula and the Valencian Astronomy Association will be on hand to guide the observation and answer all your questions.
