On October 4, an incredible event turned our daily lives upside down: a starfish from the cosmos crashed at our feet! From there began our adventure with Stella.
She needed methane to get back into space, which is why she first guided us to Cosmocité to see the biopic of her journey between ocean and space. At the end of this film, we met lots of enthusiastic children who identified with our courageous star.
In the afternoon, we discovered that the sky could be as colorful as the fish in the oceans thanks to the Planeterrella, a machine that simulates the appearance of the Northern Lights.
The day ended in apotheosis with the observation of Saturn, Stella’s favorite amusement park! The passionate animators told us the mysteries of the cosmos.

After a long rest to assimilate this fascinating information, Stella guided us to the bustling Parvis des Sciences. Researchers from all walks of life gathered there to present the extent of the knowledge that Earthlings have accumulated so far. ????????????
We gave Stella a souvenir gift????: a live-tweet about this event (#parvistella). In particular, we can find the mysteries of the manufacture of electronic chips, the biodiversity of plankton in the oceans, and levitation above a superconductor, like a star in the cosmos.

Finally, on the day of her departure, Stella wants to highlight the extent to which life in the oceans is dependent on the movement of the stars in the sky. All the poetry of this dance of life in harmony with the sky touched and inspired us to the point of sharing this knowledge with everyone in a fun way.
But not a minute to waste! We have just seen the tail of comet Tsuchinshan peeking into the sky. Stella having not found any methane, she must cling to it to find her people.
Goodbye Stella! ????
