Reading Day at the Observatory

Questions and answers.

Together with the Oberberg Education Office, we participated in this year’s nationwide Reading Day. The place was packed again! Our colleague Thomas Eversberg read a story from the “Star Diaries” by Polish science fiction author Stanislaw Lem, which deals with artificially created intelligence and the philosophical questions that arise from it. This was followed by a question and answer session on the topics of planets, stars, and the Big Bang. Afterwards, we gave a tour of our complex. This included a look through our telescopes at Saturn and live images of the Andromeda Galaxy.
