Sorry for the cheesy title but what else could I call this entry ?
Mamaluca Observatory is way up in the mountains so great opportunity to watch the sun go down before going into the dome to listen and learn. Have to say it was mind blowing to sit and think about the concept of galaxy´s, stars, solar systems etc. After a short presention we all got the opportunity to do some star gazing thru a huge telescope. The sky was really clear and I managed to see every single crater on the moon. Next up was Saturn and you could clearly see the rings. An hour later having looked at literally hundreds of stars it made me realise how small and insignificant the earth actually is.
Something to celebrate so we had a few glasses of the local Pisco Sour and then headed back to town.
