Astronomical Divulgation - AstroLAB

The Astrolab structure is a special interactive laboratory designed to introduce people to a difficult science as Astronomy. The key method to feed interest in the visiting people is the direct iteraction with specially designed experiments. The visiteur is put in condition of interact directly with instruments and experiments to learn with hand principal laws of astrophysics and physics.

Starting from the solar system the visiteur will be surrounded by night sky and start a trip to look back time until the first instants of life of the Universe.

One can vojage throungh all planets of the Solar System with the speed of thought observing the sun atmosphere and studying planets characteristics; navigate through the galaxy discovering how it lives and how it is composed; it is possible to explore the depth of the unexplored Universe discovering how the galaxies dance and interact one-another to form clusters.

Visiteurs are free to touch and iteract with lots of experiments to learn that stars, planets, galaxy and the whole universe are driven by universal laws with particular parameters that any visiteur will be able to modify by hand.

In this way it is possible to create a new planet, make the moon orbiting around the earth to observe the phases, to make stars evolve with different masses and finally it wil be possible to make the entire universe explode to learn what is the redshift concept.
