Hubert Reeves and Charlevoix
Charlevoix was, during Hubert Reeves’ adolescence, a revealer of large marine spaces by the Saint-Laurent.
An accomplished scientific observer, he notes that “The Charlevoix astrobleme is a document of great value on the formation of the Earth and its evolution.”
Hubert Reeves decides to associate his name with this unique place, which he describes as “ideal”, for the establishment of a scientific outreach center of geological and astronomical historical interest. He will participate in its development.
This Hubert-Reeves Space will continue its work of disseminating science to all audiences. His memory will be perpetuated by this place of knowledge dedicated to the promotion of the astronomical and geological heritage of Charlevoix.
