New season of Starry Nights in Babelsberg starts
Programme of the Starry Nights in Babelsberg 2019/2020.
On Thursday, 17 October 2019, starting at 7:15 pm, the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) invites to the start of the new season of our Starry Nights in Babelsberg. Christian Thomas, research assistant at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, will give a public lecture on the topic "Astronomy in Alexander von Humboldt's Cosmos lectures". Please note that the lecture will be given in German.
The 2019/2020 Starry Nights season will start with a guest lecture on Alexander von Humboldt's Cosmos Lectures on the occasion of the Humboldt Year. Afterwards, scientists from AIP will continue the popular public lecture series. The topics reflect the diversity of the institute's research: from exoplanets and Sun-like stars to dark matter, special galaxies and space missions, the comprehensible lectures offer anyone interested an insight into current topics in astrophysics. All lectures are in German language. After the talks, we offer a tour over the AIP campus and – if possible – an observation with one of our historical reflecting telescopes.
Please check the German site for a short description of this week's topic.
We look forward to your visit! Admission is free, no previous registration is necessary.
