Talk | Spotlight on the Stars

An event to mark the Day of Night.

This event will be held in French only.

Today, due to the relentless increase in light pollution, this experience is becoming increasingly rare: the night is on the verge of disappearing.
As well as restricting access to the starry sky, the increase in artificial night-time lighting also poses a significant and often underestimated conservation challenge. Light pollution affects the integrity of nocturnal ecosystems and disrupts human metabolism: life needs the night.

Mont-Mégantic National Park offers this free, ‘public-facing’ activity focusing on astronomy and the joy of gazing at the starry sky.
