Descriptif détaillé
For your safety: SUN OBSERVATION should only be carried out using specially designed and approved equipment. Direct observation with the naked eye, or through non-specialized optical instruments, can cause irreversible eye damage.
The equipment provided during this activity allows you to observe the Sun safely, either through projection methods or with specially adapted telescopes fitted with solar filters that reduce sunlight intensity by a factor of 100,000.
