Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by the stars at night. The stars, the moon, the milky way, the satellites, everything in the dark sky just blew me away. After several trips to the planetarium, I found Plateau Astro AKA Trevor, which offers outdoor workshops for discovering Montreal and its sky, at night. What tell you speaks to you? I take you with me to discover Trevor and his passion: astronomy.
More about Plateau Astro
A few years ago, Trevor finally bought the telescope he’d always dreamed of! He spends all his evenings in traversing the city parks in search of the best places to watch, and has indulged himself in the game of questions frequently put to him by curious walkers. This is how Plateau Astro was created.
From now on, Trevor organizes every month Meetings and events to popularize the concepts of astronomy with enthusiasm. Many formulas exist to help Montrealers rediscover the moon and stars, because yes, they can also be observed in the city! It is also possible that Trevor will come to your class or company to amaze young and old.
Whether you’re in the mood for a sunset or a moonrise, You will definitely find the right workshop to set foot in the infinity that surrounds us Roll your eyes a little.

Trevor also showed us how to use the many mobile apps you can use to enjoy the sky. We were even able to take A wonderful picture of the moon And discover the names of these many craters!
