During these online events, astrophysicists Frédérique Baron and Marie-Eve Naud tell space-themed stories and answer your youngsters’ questions about astronomy, the universe, galaxies, stars, planets, extraterrestrials, and everything else!

Past editions remain online on our Youtube channel: youtube.com/exoplanetes and can be listened to at any time. Short videos are also available on the channel.

Before the event, children are invited to send us their questions, in writing or in short videos (10 to 30 seconds), via an online form.

After the event, they are invited to send us a drawing or a work of their choice that shows us what they have learned, via another online form. They can then win a prize, which is drawn at random among the participating children.
