Stargazers are invited to the "Long Night of Astronomy" in September.
Look at the stars, ask questions and immerse yourself in strange galaxies: On this evening in September, questions about observations in the sky and the vastness of the universe will be answered.
Star enthusiasts young and old meet experts and other amateur astronomers at the Long Night of Astronomy. Various telescopes are also available every year and invite visitors to look up at the stars. In Berlin, the Long Night is celebrated in and around the Zeiss Großplanetarium. For the first time, the event is being organized in many planetariums, observatories and other institutions throughout Germany.
The venue opens its doors at 5 p.m. and offers a lively program for stargazing enthusiasts of all ages. In the movie theater, visitors can watch a live broadcast of the total solar eclipse from Spain. Around the Grand Planetarium, there are numerous interactive hands-on activities to discover—from craft stations to telescope observations and exciting lectures, all the way to our mobile planetarium, “Intense.”
