KAS Rutjuga is not just lying down and watching stars randomly. Remember, stars have been divided into patterns knows as Constellations and Asterisms.

Constellation is a group of stars that, when seen from Earth, form a pattern. The stars in the sky are divided into 88 constellations. Asterisms are subsets or sometimes supersets of constellations which build a constellation itself, or a group of stars, physically related or not.

Knowing the sky first, before observing it, leads to a different and unforgettable experience. Various activities make a starry night, something more astronomical and educational.

• Night Sky Tour

Night Sky Tour and Skywatching Tips

Not just the planets, there are several deep sky objects to observe in the night sky. Observation of Galaxies, Nebulae (or Nebulas), Star Clusters through telescopes. KAS team answers every question participants ask about that particular object in the view.
