The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Urania Planetarium Potsdam invite you to a theme evening with a lecture followed by a public observation. Anyone interested can take a look through our mobile telescopes. The experts from AIP and Planetarium will answer all the questions about the rare spectacle of heaven on site.
8.30 p.m.: Warm-up show in the URANIA Planetarium
10 p.m.: Public observation at the New Lustgarten (location near Casino, only with a clear view!)
The event is free of charge, registration is not required.
We are looking forward to your visit!
