Nachts auf der Sternwarte
The lecture series "Nights at the Observatory" presents an extensive program of lectures on a variety of topics on astrophysics. The lectures are accessible to the general public and are held in German or English (see program). After the talk there is a visit to the Great Refractor.
Euclid und das kosmische Netz der Galaxien
Galaxien sind nicht zufällig im All verteilt! In diesem Vortrag erkunden wir die Ursprünge des kosmischen Netzes, seine Bedeutung für unser Verständnis des Universums, und welche Rolle das neue ESA Weltraumteleskop ‘Euclid’ dabei spielen wird.
The lecture will be given in the lecture room of the University Observatory and and will also be streamed online. The link to the video stream can be found below, in the section "Livestream".
