Scientific paper

The Aula d'Astronomia is a teaching laboratory of the Faculty of Physics, University of Valencia, managed by the Departamentd'Astronomia i Astrofísica. In it, practices of some astronomical specialities are taught. Therefore, we have a classroomwith computers together with four specific telescopes installed on the terrace (a solar one, a reflector with CCD, anapochromatic refractor and a radiotelescope). Apart from the academic aspect, the Aula d'Astronomia has been widely used foroutreach activities through various educational programs such as visits from elementary and high schools, the open dayConéixer la Universitat visits, the activities of the Week of Science, and public astronomy observation nights as theNits de divendres, nits d'estels. Finally, we should emphasize its use in important ephemerides such as the transit of Venus in 2004, the solar eclipse of 2005, or the open day activities of IYA2009. Located in the building Jeroni Muñoz at the Burjassot-Paterna Campus, since its inauguration in 1997, about 15000 people have used its facilities to attend classes, outreach lectures or make day and night observations.
