Star watching night

A trail of many small flickering lights, the moon glowing and planets coming to greet. On clear days, you can view the starry sky in all its glory during the stargazing evenings of Volkssterrenwacht De Jager. Texel is extremely suitable for stargazing, as certain spots have hardly any light pollution. Whether you look with the naked eye or a telescope, there is always something special to see!
