You just arrived at the Urania Public
Observatory website.
These english pages are a stripped version of the
Dutch
website. The original version thus generally contains
more information. Do not hesitate to check it!
Who never asked questions as to how, what and why things are?
Numerous personalities talk about far more futile things rather than our
place in the cosmos.
There aren't, at this moment, many opportunities to talk about them on
TV.
But it doesn't really matter as Flanders has five public observatories
involved in the discovery of the wonderful world of astronomy. Urania is
one
of them.
During antiquity, Urania was the Astronomy Muse. Today, Urania is
trying
to inspire you with astronomy and side sciences such as meteorology and
astronautics. You can thus choose between a whole range of activities
and
services : lessons for beginners and experienced, guided tours of the
observatory, an extended documentation center, various publications,
stargazing evenings, conferences, Urania Mobile (Flanders' first
mobile
observatory) and the astroshop.
It comes according to the needs: young and lesser young people,
beginners
and experienced, amateurs in theories or in handcrafted works,
everyone can
find what suits him or her.
If you have questions, you can always ask them to Urania. In the
website,
you'll find who we are and what we do. If you don't find an answer to a
more
precise question, you can always contact us or come to visit us. Behind
Urania doors, a whole Universe is waiting for you.
Our activities are organized in Dutch,
but we
can welcome visitors in English.
