LiveDuring a 60-minute tour of the Archenhold Observatory, students immerse themselves in the fascinating world of astronomy and experience three special stops. At the famous giant telescope—the world’s longest movable refracting telescope—this impressive instrument takes center stage. It is introduced, and its inner workings are clearly explained. In the Solar System exhibition hall, a genuine fragment of the Arizona meteorite takes center stage. Visitors can not only view it but also touch it, making the traces from space immediately tangible. Finally, the tour leads under the planetarium dome, where the current night sky is brought to life through engaging explanations, bringing the tour to an atmospheric close.The Archenhold Observatory is one of astronomy’s most special places: it is Germany’s oldest and largest public observatory and houses the world’s longest movable refracting telescope.The program is moderated live and is flexibly adapted to the group’s age level and learning needs.Please make your reservation via our ticket hotline: Tel: +49 30 421845-10 / Email: Image © SPB, Photo: Pedro BecerraTranslated with DeepL
