Among the science goals available with this new instrument, it will survey large sample of massive stars in our galaxy and the Local Group, study ionized nebulae, starburst and low surface-brightness galaxies. At high redshift, it would allow us for the first time to detect the IGM unambiguously in emission, as well as study the evolution of the CGM properties near the peak of the Cosmic Star formation history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/index.php\/bluemuse-science\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"272\" height=\"254\" data-id=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/wp-content\/myimages\/2024\/07\/BlueMUSE-Science.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-540\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/index.php\/instrument-concept\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"274\" height=\"253\" data-id=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/wp-content\/myimages\/2024\/07\/BlueMUSE-Instrument.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-541\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/index.php\/contact-consortium\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"272\" height=\"250\" data-id=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/wp-content\/myimages\/2024\/07\/BlueMUSE-Consortium.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-542\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#b1b1b1;color:#b1b1b1\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-nv-dark-bg-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:900\">Project News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-876 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized\">\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\" class=\"wp-block-post-date has-text-color has-nv-dark-bg-color has-medium-font-size\"><time datetime=\"2026-10-05T14:49:55+00:00\">October 5, 2026<\/time><\/div>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:25px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\" class=\"wp-block-post-title has-text-color has-nv-dark-bg-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluemuse.univ-lyon1.fr\/index.php\/2026\/10\/05\/876\/\" target=\"_blank\" >BlueMUSE Gate B1 meeting<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">The BlueMUSE Gate B1 meeting was held from 22nd to 24th of September at the IFactory, LyonTech La Doua campus.
