Qatar National Library (QNL) is pleased to invite children and their parents to this event where ancient and modern astronomy meet. The event provides a rare chance for them to learn more about the night sky that humanity has looked up to since the beginning of time.

On this night, the Heritage Library staff will show you some of QNL’s rare manuscripts about astronomy. Telescopes will be set outside QNL to show the audience the craters of the moon, and a laser stick will be used to point out the constellations and their bright stars. Prior to that, a workshop will be carried out inside the Library to allow participants to make their own sundials and astrolabes and to introduce them to the basic techniques of using telescopes in watching starts.
