Starry Night at Puy de Dôme

We invite you to spend an evening with your head in the stars, admiring the Milky Way, the planets and other nebulae...
Entertainment provided by the Conseil départemental du Puy-de-Dôme

The Association des Astronomes Amateurs d'Auvergne (Auvergne Amateur Astronomers Association) will share a moment of dream and poetry with you as you dive into the starry sky.

Witness the breathtaking ballet of the stars, planets and moon. See the rings of Saturn, the Milky Way, the birth and death of the stars, as you've never seen them before...

Before night falls, Gérard Coute will give you an introduction to the starry sky visible that evening, with accessible explanations of the basics of astronomy.
