In Siena watching the stars of the New Year

Only 4 days, 8 hours, 9 minutes at the stroke of midnight of the new year, in newspapers, on television and radio astrologers communicate forecasts of 2009, strictly divided sign for sign. While waiting to find out what was in store for us next year, I want to suggest you an appointment with the stars, quiet, I do not to submit to yet another horoscope, the sky that I invite you to observe is that 'astronomical'.

Not quite on a New Year's Day but on 3 January 2009 in Siena the Observatory's Astrofili Senesi will be open to the public; at 21:30 you can watch by telescope the stars and nebulae that 'live' the northern hemisphere and for once the show will not take place Under the Tuscan Sun, but it will be the Tuscan sky itself. The astronomical station of Siena Palmiero Capannoli is located near Port Laterina, if you arrive in Siena by train it is necessary to take a bus to reach Independence Square and here take another bus /(n 54) which stops at Port Laterina, while if you come by car you can park in route Bastianini and route of the Nuovo Asilo.

Now it only remains to hope that the night is clear and therefore the maximum visibility and check the weather forecast ... and that the stars are with you!
