For many years, I offered an evening program “from Stargazers to Astronomers” for teenagers.
First, we’d hear a bit about what astronomy as a science actually is, and perform our own mini-expanding-universe analogy with the resulting Hubble Diagram.
In the second part of the evening, we’d visit an observatory, where we could observe the moon, different stars, nearby galaxies, and sometimes also neighbouring planets, through a telescope.
