A giant ball of gas at 5500ºC at 150.000.000km where you can fit approximately 1.300.000 Earths. Who doesn’t want to see this?

Here at OLA we have telescopes that were specifically designed to observe the solar surface in great detail and maximum safety! Take this opportunity to observe some phenomena that are characteristic to the solar surface such as sun spots, flares, prominences, and much more.

The whole experience is accompanied by a professional guide. Explanations are given in an accessible language by OLA guides who are more than prepared to answer all kinds of questions.

Close to the end of the session we capture an image of the Sun that is then sent to all participants as a souvenir and reminder of the Sun’s state and activity on the day of the observation.

Suitable for all ages.
