Stargazing in northern Chile
Almost nowhere else in the world is the sky as clear and the view of the stars as good as in northern Chile. It is not for nothing that some of the world's most important international observatories are located here. Astronomers from all over the world are drawn here time and again to conduct research. The Space Obs in San Pedro de Atacama (San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Observatory) is located in the immediate vicinity of the Tropic of Capricorn and is open to visitors. During a visit here, an expert will provide you with astronomical background knowledge and show you the special features of the southern night sky with the help of an extra-powerful laser pointer. You can enjoy unforgettable views of distant stars and galaxies through a telescope.
