A picture taken in Fontainebleau, southern Paris on August 13, 2023 shows shooting stars streaking across the Milky Way during the “Nuits des étoiles” (Starry Night), a major annual celebration for astronomy enthusiasts. Since 1991, Nuits des étoiles has been organized by teams of volunteer astronomers. Celestial dust will be the theme of the 2023 edition of Nuits des étoiles, organized by the Association Française d'Astronomie and more than 250 clubs, associations, planetariums and town halls. The celestial spectacle will also be at its peak with the Perseids. The deep sky will be within reach of our telescopes, from the Milky Way north to south, from Cassiopeia and Perseus to Scorpio and Sagittarius, towards the galactic center.
