Kalamata Astronomical Club-Stargazing Night
Spread the word
We invite you to the opening of the Messenia Astroobservation Park, where the Kalamata Astronomical Club will guide you to the observation of celestial objects outside our solar system. Willing amateur astronomers will help you see through telescopes while you learn about the nature and state of the heavenly bodies.
