From the dunes to the school playground, from candlelit star parties to the planetarium, Cafe Sci Dubai puts a telescope in front of people and lets the universe do the rest.
Dubai's dunes and mountains make a natural observatory. Telescopes go up, the lights go down, and the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn appear.
Torches, notebooks, hot drinks and a queue at every eyepiece. Star parties turn strangers into a crowd looking in the same direction.
Children, parents, teachers and curious passers-by all get their turn. The telescope comes to them: school grounds, plazas and pavements.
Talks, Mars and the night sky, brought to students inside a planetarium.
More than 25 talks, from school halls to Cafe Sci evenings, all with the same aim: to make the universe feel close enough to touch.
See the evenings, the speakers and the photos from the rooms.
