Just outside Paris, we're taking a break from light pollution to enjoy an exceptional night to contemplate the sky. This year, the Nuits des Étoiles 2023 will be held in Montrouge. Join us at the Jardin Fertile de Montrouge on the night of August 12-13, 2023, for observations of the stars, planets and Milky Way, in the company of astronomers from the Association Française d'Astronomie!
Through workshops, these enthusiasts will explain to novices the make-up of the sky that evening, so that they can then better find their bearings when observing the stars. From 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., visitors will be able to watch the dance of the planets between Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and contemplate Vega, Deneb and Altair, three of the brightest stars. Keep your eyes peeled for the Perseid showers of shooting stars. Special entertainment will also be provided by Unistellar telescopes, which are supporting the event.
The event is free of charge, so don't hesitate to head to Montrouge to admire the Milky Way. It's sure to make for some sweet dreams among the stars.
