The municipality of Vendargues hosted a national event on Saturday, October 10, 2026, focusing on light pollution, the protection of nocturnal biodiversity, and the preservation of the starry sky.

This event, organized by the Agenda 2030 service, represented by Max Rascalou, Delegate Councilor, and Laetitia Martinez, head of the service, mobilized the association "Ciel, mon ami.".
The evening offered discoveries related to astronomy, particularly on solar spots and prominences, as well as a more theoretical segment on stars and celestial treasures visible in the evening and throughout the night.
Discussions also covered the disruption of animal and plant species caused by light pollution. The moment was intended to be one of shared wonder for families and friends.
