Astronomy night on the Glauberg - On the trail of stars and planets

On Saturday, September 13th, between 7 and 11 p.m., everything at Glauberg will be about the sun, moon, stars and planets. The Celtic World at Glauberg and the observatory of the Frankfurt Physical Society invite you to the ninth astronomy night.

The Frankfurt astronomers will be bringing a range of different telescopes to the Glauberg to give stargazers of all ages a glimpse of the starry sky. But visitors themselves can also explore the night sky with binoculars or their own telescope.

Throughout the evening, the moon with its bizarre crater landscape and other planets will be in the spotlight. Attempts will also be made to capture one or two double stars and star clusters - light years away. But it can also be done without any technology: if you want to enjoy the fascinating firmament above the Glauberg in total, the special star tours are the right choice. Here, the current constellations are presented and tips on how to find your way around the starry sky are given.

For visitors who would like to learn more about astronomy, there will be short lectures starting at 7:30 p.m. (further information on the 3 different short lectures will follow).

An exhibition will feature real meteorites – stones from the universe – that have been found in various places around the world.

Finally, a "creative corner" provides variety for little stargazers. There they can make astronomical models and colour in astronomical motifs to their heart's content.

The permanent exhibition and the special exhibition "Paths through time. The history of the Glauberg" are open to visitors until 11 p.m. on this evening, so the world of the stars and the Celtic world can be explored together. The bistro in the museum will provide refreshments.
