The Night of Stars sidi bourouis tunisia 2009
      #3226496 - 07/19/09 10:37 AM

hello

I am here to inform you that the nights of star in tunisia specially sidi bourouis - are fixed in 24, 25 and 26 July.
The Night of Stars event is an astronomical, open and free event for the public witch happen in the summer, It is organized each year by astronomical clubs and associations in Tunisia like Tunisian Astronomical Society (SAT), and young science society (AJST). Traditionally, This event is supported by many amateur astronomers volunteers describing the sky to the public and the plunge in the Milky Way.
for space and astronomy club house youth sidi bourouis, this year is the second time that we organize the nights of stars, those of August 2008 which is really a wonderful experience and one of the best opportunities for the curious audience to contact the mysterious Sky, an audience that hides a lot of questions about the universe and wants to disclose. In a second place, the presence of children has changed our lexical fields to understand the enigma of univers in more simple way. the result was wonderful: Many children have found in themselfes a love for astronomy manifested by cheching us in our club and asked us these questions about the moon, the sun, the aliens and other things .We hope that this year will be better.
Each year the nights of stars are held in August at the same time as the Perseids under the first quarter. This year,it will be in July,because we will celebrate the 40th years since the first step to the moon aboard Apollo 11 and explained the details of this event which changed our look to the universe.children also have their space to them to express themselves and give their views of the moon.The Night of stars 2009 will be exceptional because in the same time we celebrate World Year of Astronomy and 400 years after the discoveries of famous Italian scientist Galileo,how was the first to see the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. Every night there is an evening of observation space of the family with Jupiter and its satellites are its main theme.
