Scientific Outreach Activities


The projects conducted at the IMEF-FURG Astronomical Observatory are an integral part of FURG's university extension projects. Their main purpose is to promote integration among colleagues and students from various fields of knowledge, while disseminating astronomical knowledge in the Rio Grande community. Additionally, they aim to encourage the involvement of enthusiastic students in the local astronomical community.
Starry Sky: Astronomical observations occur regularly every Tuesday evening on the IMEF Terrace, in the same building as the observatory (room S1). Open to the public, these sessions offer the opportunity to explore the night sky under the guidance of experienced astronomers. Quality equipment is provided for an educational and immersive experience. The goal is to promote access to and understanding of astronomy in the local community.
Astrotour: Visitas ao observatório ocorrendo quinzenalmente, alternadas com as atividades do céu estrelado. Aqui temos uma breve palestra e sessão de perguntas, tal como a utilização de telescópios durante o dia, com sorte, há observação da Lua durante o dia. Aberto ao público. Para vinda de escolas e outros grupos é necessário agendar, para evitar superlotação.
