Starry Night

For 2 hours, you'll take a journey through the celestial sphere, exploring the constellations and the brightest stars. We'll observe the planets, the Moon in all its phases, deep-sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies, as well as current astronomical events. All of this will be explained in an engaging way, with up-to-date information, history, and mythology. You'll also receive a photo booklet with all the objects seen during the session.

Solar observation session

In our 1-hour solar observation session, you'll see the photosphere where sunspots, faculae, and granulations appear. We'll also teach you how to build a sundial, how to orient yourself using the sun, and you'll learn about the many applications our star has in our lives. You'll also learn how to properly protect yourself from ultraviolet rays and receive a photosensitive gift! All of this is done with the necessary safety measures, using approved filters, and providing helpful prevention tips.

Caution! Solar observation must be done with the necessary safety precautions. Never observe the sun with your telescope or binoculars without the appropriate filters. Risk of permanent eye damage.

Lunar observation session

We recommend our 1-hour lunar observation session, where you can observe the Moon in its various phases. We'll explain its origin, evolution, and composition, along with interesting details and facts. Using a 3D model of the satellite, we'll explore its map, including seas, mountain ranges, lakes, bays, and major craters. You'll also be able to observe it directly through our telescopes, almost as if you were there! You'll learn how the Moon has been essential for the origin of life on our planet and how it influences our daily lives and the lives of all other living beings.

We'll give you a selenoscope to cut out and assemble!

Audiovisual presentation - speech

In our audiovisual presentation and speech, we will share useful information about the solar system, star formation, our place in the universe, the evolution of astronomy to the present day, the relationship between Earth and the cosmos, and measures to protect and preserve our planet. For one hour, you can enjoy a detailed explanation of astronomy and engage in discussions about the existence of life beyond our planet, the future of humanity, and more.

This activity is open to all audiences, subject to venue capacity.

Astronomical events

The universe continually offers us new events: a meteor shower, the passage of a comet, a solar or lunar eclipse, alignment of plantes, a Supermoon, or an asteroid... all of them are determined by the astronomical calendar and can be planned in advance. We'll take you to see this month's most outstanding event.

Advisory session

We'll guide you through your first steps in astronomy, whether it's buying your first telescope, assembling our DIY kits, using astronomical equipment, searching for celestial objects, advanced setup, interpreting the night sky, and more. For as long as you need, the activity will preferably take place at our facilities, but we can also travel to your location.

If you'd like to join our activities, you can do so directly through the astro-shop . You can also write to us to request a quote tailored to your specific needs and group.
