Llàgrimes de Sant Llorenç: Perseids Astronomy Workshop
Inca, Mallorca·19:30
Spend an evening getting close to the Perseids with FIAAM at Inca’s municipal sports centre. The workshop starts with the practical side of astronomy — setting up and using telescopes — then moves through comets, meteor-shower orbits and projected planets before the sky becomes the main event. As night falls, identify the stars and observe the Perseids through FIAAM’s telescopes, with a gentle introduction to astrophotography on your phone. Practical: Saturday 15 August 2026 · from 19:30 · Poliesportiu Municipal Mateu Cañellas, Inca · free with prior registration.
