Astronomy and Space Science

Map of thematic routes 

With a telescope or the naked eye

Scientists and amateurs bring the skies within reach of visitors, with a whole universe of explanations and demonstrations.

They offer keys to understanding and discovering phenomena linked to astronomy and space science.

 

"Fascinated by atmospheric, terrestrial and celestial phenomena, Ewen produced exquisite schematic maps of the sky." Bernard Lamarche, Le Devoir, February 26, 2002

Talk to me about the planets
Hands-on science to grasp the world, with enjoyment and confidence.

 

 

 

Not just when the moon is full
Starlight strolls, far from the city lights, accessible all year long.

 

Seeing the Earth from space
As if you were aboard a satellite.

Seeing the Moon from close up
A piece of the moon brought back by the crew of Apollo XV.

Under a starry sky
Astronomical shows and exhibitions.

See the night in a new light
From the peak or the foot of a mountain
