I went to the First International Dark Sky Reserve!

Mont-Megantic Observatory

For the first post of my blog, I decided to go big!

Located at Mont-Mégantic in the province of Quebec the International Dark Sky Reserve lets people discover the immensity of space. The main goal is to educate people about astronomy and all the latest discovery related to space exploration. The visit is accessible for people of all ages and it can take part during the day and at night by assisting at conferences about astronomy.

The Observatory at the summit of Mont-Mégantic is reserved for astronomy studies but they are having small groups visit inside to show the telescope that the researcher of the university is using to do their deep sky captures.

Now to the reserve. It opened in 2007 and is the very first dark sky reserve certified by the International Dark Sky Association...
