• Cosmology: Basic principles of the universe's structure and origins.

• Observation Techniques: Essential methods for observing the night sky.

• Astronomical Tools: Overview of the tools and equipment used in astronomy.

This foundational knowledge is crucial for understanding how the universe functions and how we study it.

Simulation Training

During the simulation stage, learners will practice stargazing in a risk-free virtual environment. Key aspects include:

• Night Sky Navigation: Learning how to identify constellations and celestial objects.

• Virtual Observation: Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application through simulated stargazing exercises.

This stage helps build confidence and skill without the need for ideal weather conditions.

Practical Training

In the practical phase, participants will get hands-on experience with real telescopes. Activities include:

• Telescope Setup: Learning the essential steps for setting up a telescope.

• Skywatching: Gaining proficiency in locating and observing celestial bodies.

• Observation Recording: Practicing techniques for recording and analyzing observations.

All skills are practiced in real-world scenarios to prepare participants for practical stargazing in various environments.
