Presentation

The Marseille Astronomy Association presents the lecture “Understanding the sun” followed by naked-eye and instrument-assisted observation of the starry sky, with the possible chance to witness shooting stars. Please bring a flashlight for your movements.

Public lighting will be switched off, so please bring a flashlight for your movements. Artificial lighting is prohibited at the observation site to avoid disturbance, as it significantly reduces visual acuity for at least 15 minutes.
