Jupiter and its satellites on September 29th, 2015 Pleasure is on the agenda I sometimes have lab periods with a group of 20 students who are completely stunned by astrophysical phenomena, and this is quite motivating and exhilarating for everyone involved. The students are very enthusiastic about the experience (and so is their teacher!). The dynamic nature of the Stellarium projections creates a spectacular and realistic visual effect. Combined with a 16-foot wide planetarium - which accommodates 20 students- the software helps create a very realistic projection of the heavens seen from various sites around the globe, such as Taquile Island in Peru, or at one of the Mauna Kea observatories, on Big Island, in Hawaii. I can also use Stellarium, which is more interesting and captivating for everyone. In order to achieve these pedagogical objectives, I could use photos and videos taken from a telescope. To research a star in particular and evaluate its magnitude and luminosity.To recognize the sky using coordinates and the position of stars or clusters of stars in the sky.“ Astronomie et astrophysique” is part of the Natural Sciences program.
