Open Science
All our projects encourage research, reflection, and collaboration—whether through our core research initiatives, educational activities & social gatherings, or artistic projects. Whether you are a scientist, researcher, educator, or science enthusiast who shares our passion for science, nature, and space, you can join us on this fascinating journey. Depending on your motivations and interests, we offer various opportunities for involvement.
Citizen Science Initiatives
Becoming a citizen science participant is an invitation to take part in the research or recreational activities hosted by NeurAstra without any constraints. It is a friendly way to share pictures, stories, and experiences among science, nature, and space lovers.

‘Blue Hours’
Blue Hours
A strange shape in the sky, an intriguing rock in the mountain; there are plenty of observations to make around us every day. Feel free to send us the best pictures of your surroundings or moments of joy in nature. We will publish it in our Blue Hours Gallery to document and build, little by little, a visual database of our planet. OPEN
‘Being a Celestographer’
Blue Hours
Inspired by the talent and dedication of the French painter and illustrator André des Gachons, we propose here to continue his meteorological initiative to keep track of celestial events by using the same template he designed to draw the sky and its most salient features. OPEN
