The Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena invites you to the “Day of Physics & Astronomy” on March 6, 2025. Pupils and anyone interested in physics and astronomy will experience an exciting day with lots of experiments.
The faculty's researchers take their guests into the fascinating world of modern science and show how research is done. Guided tours of the ultra-modern laboratories take place every 60 minutes - in cleanroom clothing, of course, which is provided for visitors. During short presentations on topics from quantum physics, gravitational physics and astronomy, everyone can join in the discussion, ask questions and experience science up close.
Markus Roth, Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Thuringian State Observatory, will be giving a lecture on the sun at 9.30 am. The sun is the only star that is close enough for astronomers to study it with high resolution. Solar physicists study sunspots, magnetic activity, helioseismology and space weather. From 10 am to 3 pm, the sun can be observed on the roof terrace of the building at Max-Wien-Platz 1 - weather permitting.

Tip: If you are considering whether to study physics or to study at Friedrich Schiller University in general, this is an offer you shouldn't miss. The Infomobile of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena will be stopping at the Day of Physics and Astronomy. The student advisory service offers you the chance to find out more about studying at FSU Jena. From natural sciences to humanities and teaching, everything is on offer. Come along and bring your questions!
The event is free of charge and is aimed at school classes and young people who will soon be graduating from school. For better coordination of the laboratory tours, solar observation, etc., it is helpful if school classes register with the expected number of pupils.
