Thursday August 12th
The Perseid Meteor Showers return every year, in August, and can be very spectacular.
Let’s meet to observe this nature show on Thursday 12th, from the top of the Salève.
We will go earlier to have a picnic, watch the sunset and then wait the time to observe them. ( It will be visible from 22h10 until midnight )
Fortunately, with a little patience, the spectacle is guaranteed: it is very rare that by observing attentively during a quarter of an hour one does not observe at least one or two beautiful shooting stars!
Transport: CAR SHARING – 3 peoples by car (the driver would ask to wear the mask )
Meeting point :
19h00 at P+R Sous Moulin (rte Blanche, Thonex)
To reach the meeting point :
By Car: take the route de Malagnou, towards the French highway. The P+R is to the right immediately before the border.

Return: We plan to return around 23h30 from Le Salève
If you prefer, you can drive directly to the Salève. We will meet at the parking of the restaurant “l’Observatoire”. If so, please let us know
