Let’s turn the stars back on at the Carabiol meadow

Launched in 2009, Day of the Night is a national event to raise awareness of light pollution and the beauty of the starry sky.

Saturday October 14 at nightfall, Mélanie Arnal, elected to the ecological transition, has scheduled an extraordinary astronomy evening, at the Carabiol meadow. An invitation to a visual and sound journey into the infinity of the sky. At 7:30 p.m. sky observation with the Asat association. At 8:30 p.m. astro-musical conference The Four Seasons – Autumn, followed at 9:45 p.m. by telescope observations.

The four seasons of the universe, the winning project of Montpellier Capital of Culture 2028, is a show concept which combines concert, scientific conference and photo projection on screen. Originally, the meeting of a musician, an astrophysicist and a director, who asked themselves the same question: “For millennia, the night sky was one of the most beautiful spectacles to contemplate. How can we give it back its place in our sensitive imaginations?” As the sky map varies with the seasons, the trio designed four shows.

Arnaud Le Meur, drummer composer arranger, composes specific melodies for quartet, whose instruments and musicians change each season; for the fall, double bass, electric guitar, drums and flute. Vincent Guillet, astrophysicist teacher-researcher lecturer addresses a new theme, illustrating it with the latest photos from NASA or telescopes in orbit. Aurélie Namur from Cie Clear Nights ties it all together. “The theme chosen for the fall is strangeness,” explains Arnaud Le Meur. The quartet which sometimes accompanies the speech, sometimes the observation, will play in minor mode and Vincent will talk regarding strange and unanswered stellar phenomena, such as black holes. .”

Saturday from 7:30 p.m., at the Carabiol meadow near the stadium. Possibility of weather fallback at the Lamouroux room.
