The OAJ and Galáctica have been two of the places chosen to tell the story of Aragonese culture and contributions to astronomy throughout history.
Representatives from universities in Italy, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Algeria and Colombia visit Galactica and the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ) as part of a working day led by the University Polytechnic School of Teruel (EUPT).
The facilities have received almost twice as many visitors as initially planned for the first year of operation. A children's playground, a planetarium and an observation square for large groups will complement the infrastructure.
The agreement, which will last for one year and will benefit up to 2,000 students, seeks to facilitate students' access to the astronomical center.
