# Science Fun: From the infinitely large with Spirou to the infinitely small...
Welcome to the program co-produced by the University of Montpellier and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the laboratories of the Muse archipelago. Today's cruise takes us far away, as we welcome Julien Morin, a researcher at the Montpellier Universe and Particles Laboratory, who will talk to us about exoplanets. Then, in the second part of the program, we will explore the infinitely small with a transmission electron microscope...

During our journey, we have transported you to the depths of the ocean, to Egyptian tombs, to the South to encounter ecologically rare species, and even to the habitat of the future. Now, hold on to your seats because we are taking you... into space!
The Montpellier Universe and Particles Laboratory (LUPM), in collaboration with other French laboratories, has just measured for the very first time the mass and density of a very young exoplanet located in the planetary system Au Mic, named after its star Au Microscopii. This discovery was made possible thanks to Spirou, the new high-precision spectropolarimeter/velocimeter recently installed on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.
Julien Morin is our guest today. He is a specialist in stellar and exoplanetary physics at LUPM.

In the second part of the program, we move from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, from the Microscope constellation to the electron and analytical microscopy platform, to discover a strange and imposing machine, the transmission electron microscope. Erwan Oliviero is our guide.
