Claim 1: “astronomers on hand to help visitors spot Saturn, Mars and even distant galaxies”
SINGLE SOURCE
While France 24 mentions astronomers help visitors spot Saturn, Mars, and galaxies, the other search results are general astronomy news or guides and do not specifically confirm that these specific objects are the focus of the Nuits des Étoiles guidance. Only the France 24 source links these specific objects to the event's guidance.
