Paris Observatory produces French legal time, ephemerides of the Sun, Moon and solar system bodies, and operates state-of-the-art radio telescopes at Nançay. It offers academic training (Masters, PhD),
The IMCCE is a research institute of the Paris Observatory of Paris, associated with the CNRS (UMR8028), whose work concerns mainly the dynamic and planetologic studies of the bodies of the
Using instruments aboard space missions, the team measures the composition of planetary surfaces and atmospheres. The aim is to characterize the processes of physicochemical and climatic
It is the travelling version of a permanent exhibition created in 2007 in the gardens of the Meudon site of the Paris Observatory, where the Solar System is represented on a scale of 1 meter
The Solar System currently moves through a cloud of interstellar medium called the Local Cloud. The closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri, is 269,000 AU (4.25 ly) away. Both are within the
Even into the 21st century solar observations are conducted at the Meudon site, and the preserved Great Refractor (Grande lunette) and astronomical gardens overlooking the city of Paris have
In addition to furnishing an encyclopedic and comparative view, this site is a way to explore and understand the various parts of the Solar System (planets, satellites, asteroids, comets) via the
Astronomical viewer to see the position of the planets, the moon, the sun and other celestial bodies from Paris for any date and time. Animations in real time and animations programmed in time jumps. A
Explore the 3D world of the Solar System. Learn about past and future missions.
Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun''s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. This unique viewing angle will change our
Scelto Energy Africa is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in South Africa, serving the African market. We specialize in lithium-ion batteries for residential, commercial and industrial use, system-level battery management systems (BMS) for optimal performance and safety, energy conversion systems (PCS) for efficient power flow, energy storage battery system cabinets with integrated monitoring, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, commercial & industrial energy storage cabinets for factories and warehouses, integrated PV-storage systems for seamless solar plus storage operation, distributed energy resources for microgrids and off-grid applications, and deep discharge battery technology for extended cycling. As a full-service provider, we also offer containerised BESS, modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Africa.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with African and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Africa.
