In her visual world, she enjoys exploring fantastical creatures, bizarre encounters of the third kind, and a diverse cosmos of animals and people. Sandra Bayer lives in Reichenau.“Galactically Secret Alien Secrets” (Klett Kinderbuch-Verlag)During their visit to the planetarium, Lola and her dog Gurki spot something strange through the telescope: Was that a UFO that just flew by? Of course, claims the very human ufologist who suddenly appears beside them, presenting a wealth of supposed evidence and arguments for the existence of aliens. Astronomer Yelda counters with scientific explanations and gives Lola and Gurki real insights into the current state of her research.The program for Read-Aloud Day 2026 with the Planetarium Berlin Foundation: 9:00–10:00 a.m.Sandra Bayer“Galactically Secret Alien Mysteries”Zeiss Grand Planetarium, Planetarium Auditorium9:00–9:45 a.m.Fee Krämer“HÄNK – A Hamster Dreams of Space”Archenhold ObservatoryEinstein Hall10:00–10:45 a.m.Inga Marie Ramcke“The Astronaut Next Door: A Journey from the Children’s Room to Space”Archenhold ObservatoryEinstein Hall11:00–11:45 a.m.Cally Stonk, Christian Friedrich“Mystery Agents: On a Mission for N.A.S.E.”Archenhold Observatory, Einstein Hall12:00–12:45 p.m.Babette Pribbenow“Pepper Mint and the Wildly Fantastic Research Book”Archenhold ObservatoryEinstein Hall© Stiftung Lesen, Deutsche Bahn Foundation, DIE ZEITTranslated with DeepL
