Sternschnuppen-Nacht an der Archenhold-Sternwarte

In the organizer's words:

Live

Every year in August, the Earth crosses the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle - an event that becomes visible in the sky in the form of countless shooting stars: the Perseids.

Experience this astronomical highlight at the Archenhold Observatory - the largest and oldest public observatory in Germany. Make yourself comfortable on our meadow and watch the spectacle of the meteors in the middle of Treptower Park. Under the professional guidance of our experts, you can observe other celestial objects with our powerful telescopes and learn more about the origin, orbit and luminosity of celestial bodies as well as observation techniques. In the small planetarium, you can visit short programs at a reduced price.

The Archenhold Observatory park invites you to linger or have a picnic - please bring blankets and provisions.
