Visit of the astronomical observatory of Mont-Soleil by night with observation of the stars and planetarium session during the new moon.

Thanks to our 355 mm main telescope and other instruments, this visit of the observatory, which takes place in the evening, lasts about two and a half hours and will allow you to dive into the wonders of the starry sky. On the occasion of these new moon evenings, each visit will be dedicated to a different theme.

MAY 19 Galaxy duos: Despite the expansion of the Universe, the force of gravitation is able to hold galaxies together. Come and observe these incredible objects.

JUNE 16 Planetary Nebulae: Planetary nebulae are so named because astronomers once mistook them for planets. They are among the most beautiful astrophysical objects that can be seen in the cosmos with a telescope.

SEPTEMBER 15 Black Hole Observation: Come learn more about the most monstrous objects in the universe. Will you be able to see one?

OCTOBER 13 Double Stars - Stellar Scales: Come learn how visual observation of double stars has allowed astronomers to determine the mass of stars with their telescopes and scopes.
