11am: Skylab, the first space station launched by NASA

Skylab is the only American space station to be launched into orbit. It has
enabled us to learn a great deal about life in space, and to discover
a "new sun" by observing this star without the screen of
the atmosphere. This presentation is a small souvenir of the
post-Apollo space adventure, which started badly and ended...
humorously. But the legacy of new knowledge was
considerable at the time.

Lecture by Thomas Dolivo, President of the Société Astronomique du Nord Vaudois.

12.15pm: Aperitif
1pm: Sun observation, weather permitting.
Please note that if the weather is good in the morning and not in the afternoon, the sun observation will take place in the morning and the lecture in the afternoon.
