Discover the Secrets of the Sky
How do you observe planets and galaxies with a telescope?
What’s the difference between an asteroid and a comet?
How big is the Universe, anyway?
Alex and his parents, huge astronomy fans, have tons of questions like these. But there’s one thing they’ve never done: take part in a real stargazing session. That’s about to change! Together, they decide to hit the road on an epic road trip in their trusty 4L, traveling from Paris all the way to the Pic du Midi. Joining them is their friend Sara, a professional astronomer, who’s ready to guide them through the mysteries of the cosmos. The grand finale? Witnessing the breathtaking Perseid meteor shower which lights up the Earth’s atmosphere in mid-August!
On this adventure, you’ll join Alex as he learns how to pick the right telescope, adjust it like a pro, and identify celestial bodies in the night sky. Along the way, you’ll uncover the secrets of the Universe, from our very own Solar System to galaxies far, far away!
