3rd year Physics students visit La Calern, Nice
7 Sep 2026
UCC Students and Faculty recently visited the Observatoire de Calern which lies 50 kms outside of Nice, France.
Over the course of 5 nights under beautiful clear skies the students were trained on how to run two 1m telescopes and gathered data on transiting exoplanets, spectra of stars and explosive transient events, and images of galaxies and galaxies clusters.
This trip is offered to any students enrolled in the astrophysics degree stream.
