Our Place at the Universe – The AIP Participates the Potsdam Science Day 2026
Potsdam Science Day 2026
May 6, 2026 //
At the information stand of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) at the 2026 Potsdam Science Day, we will take visitors on a journey through space.
At the 2026 Potsdam Science Day, find out what we’re researching – from the Sun and the stars to mysterious black holes. Come and have a chat with our scientists. Visitors can test their knowledge by playing the game ‘Astro 4 Wins’, letting planets battle it out against satellites, galaxies and nebulae. There is also the chance to explore 3D constellations in a 3D space. The exhibition is complemented by a small model of the Moon and a spectrograph.

The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) is dedicated to astrophysical questions ranging from the study of our sun to the evolution of the cosmos. The key areas of research focus on stellar, solar and exoplanetary physics as well as extragalactic astrophysics. A considerable part of the institute's efforts aims at the development of research technology in the fields of spectroscopy, robotic telescopes, and e-science. The AIP is the successor of the Berlin Observatory founded in 1700 and of the Astrophysical Observatory of Potsdam founded in 1874. The latter was the world’s first observatory to emphasize explicitly the research area of astrophysics. The AIP has been a member of the Leibniz Association since 1992.
