These courses will enable you to move from simple curiosity to an understanding of the mysteries of the Universe, and to acquire fundamental notions of Astronomy and Astrophysics. They include 3 half-days and 2 evenings of observation. Reservations required.

On the program:
- Discovery, familiarization and use of observation instruments (binoculars, telescopes)
- Preparing an observation evening (reading a sky chart, using planetarium software)
- Discover the main constellations in the sky (using the sky chart)
- Learn how to point an instrument at an easy-to-see star in the sky (visible to the naked eye and/or in the finder).
- Fundamental astronomical notions about the Solar System and deep-sky stars (nebulae, star clusters and galaxies).

PRACTICAL INFO :
