What is Urania Mobile?

Astronomy, weather science and related sciences are very attractive subjects for teaching. These sciences have been evolving fast in recent years, and the revolution in digital communication brought loads of information, available on CD-ROM, video, CD-i or the internet.

For schools, a visit to an observatory or planetarium is often difficult to organise. If you would like to get a presentation about astronomy, suited to your needs and presented at your location, Urania Mobile is what you need. Urania comes to you with a mobile observatory. Since it was started up in 1996, Urania Mobile has introduced more than 60000 people to astronomy. With the most recent technical aids (video, computer, CD-i) and the most up to date information (recent weatherimages, images from the Hubble Space Telescope), but also with more traditional material (Baader Planetarium, telescope, star maps,...) experienced teachers from Urania Public Observatory bring a multimedia course adapted to your needs.

Urania Mobile is there for everybody, from 5 year old kids to groups of adults. For every age and schooltype, adapted programmes exist. For high schools, our teachers interact closely with the official programme. Selected themes can be presented on demand. Urania Mobile also offers different programmes for organisations. We can give you a general astronomical show, but also a more theoretical introduction on a specific subject, coupled with an observation night.

The possibilities are almost unlimited. Do not hesitate to contact us so that we can offer you what you are looking for!
