Parc de la Serralada de Marina will host the meeting of the astronomical observatories from the Xarxa de Parcs Naturals on Saturday, 21 November, under the title "Saturn and the Moon meet in Tiana." The event will take place from 18:00 to 21:00 and is free of charge, offering a range of observation activities, workshops, and astronomical outreach proposals suitable for all audiences.
Participants will have the opportunity to observe the Moon and Saturn through telescopes, gaining insights into the rings of this planet. The programme will also feature the screening of the audiovisual piece "Art and Astronomy," a water rocket activity, an introduction to upcoming solar eclipses, and the exploration of a suitcase of planets.
The meeting will include a tasting of wines from the DO Alella, allowing attendees to complement their astronomical evening with local products. This event is organised in collaboration with various astronomical institutions, including the Observatori Astronòmic de Castelltallat, the Observatori Astronòmic del Parc del Garraf, the Grupo de Astronomía Tiana, the Astronómica de Sabadell, the Agrupación de Astronomía de Alella, the Agrupación Astronómica de Castelldefels, and the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Granollers.
This initiative aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 11, “Sustainable Cities and Communities,” and number 15, “Life on Land.” The 17 SDGs were proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2015 and are part of the global agenda for 2030. The Diputació de Barcelona is committed to supporting local governments in the province in accordance with these goals.
