Pour célébrer les 150 ans du site de Meudon, l’Observatoire de Paris-PSL doit tirer un faisceau laser vert entre Meudon et Paris ce vendredi 9 octobre, de 19h45 à 20h45. Présentée comme une « démonstration expérimentale de la vitesse de la lumière » dans un communiqué de la préfecture de police de Paris, cette opération marque également le centenaire du rattachement des deux sites. Le faisceau, qui pourra être visible depuis le domaine de Meudon, traversera plusieurs villes comme Clamart ou Vanves avant de finir sa course à l’Observatoire de Paris dans le XIVe arrondissement.

Cette expérience scientifique fait écho, selon l’Observatoire de Paris, à une découverte faite en 1676, il y a 350 ans. Le scientifique et astronome danois Ole Rømer démontrait alors dans ce même observatoire que la lumière ne se déplace pas instantanément, mais a une vitesse définie et limitée. Cette découverte constituait une étape importante dans l’histoire de l’astronomie.
