Observation of the Sun at the OFXB

St-Luc

Solar spots, prominences, the Sun is an exciting star...

Discover the functioning and mood of our star from various commented observations: the heliostat projects the image of the Sun live on a screen; the spectrograph breaks down the light of the daylight into an “indoor” rainbow rich in information! Finally, the solar telescope with selective filter 150mm in diameter will reveal to you the vibrant activity of the outer layers of our star.

In unfavorable weather, a conference on the Sun with a commented projection of the most recent images taken by satellite replaces the observation. The sessions therefore take place even in the event of unfavorable weather.
