Primary and secondary school teachers are invited to learn about instruments used for astronomical measuring, but also about what makes astronomy fun and engaging from someone who is very passionate about the subject: “Knowing about worlds and stars out of reach by decoding light and by carefully plotting the celestial movements is like tantalising puzzle which triggers humility for the universe and a certain awe of the human brain.”
