An exceptional challenge is launched by the Geneva Natural History Museum, the Geneva Astronomy Society, the “Sal\u00e8ve House”. The “Grand Gen\u00e8ve” area (Geneva and cross border’s town) will switch off all public lightening for one night. The objective is to raise awareness of the harmful effects of light pollution and allow the million citizens to see planets, stars and milky way.<\/p>\n

Caused largely by excessive artificial lighting, it is necessary to raise awareness of this phenomenon to change habits.<\/p>\n
The night of September 26th offers perfect astronomical conditions, the opportunity to raise your head to rediscover the stars, to admire the milky way (visible from the sunset) and even Saturn and Jupiter!<\/p>\n
The evening will also be punctuated by local events to enjoy the night otherwise close to home: observation of the sky with astronomy clubs, candlelit meal or night walks…<\/p>\n
