A date for the Open House 2025 at the Thuringian State Observatory has been set. We invite all astronomy fans to spend time at the observatory in the Tautenburg Forest on Sunday, May 25. More details about the program will be announced soon. You will be able to listen to talks about stars, the sun, galaxies and other celestial objects and talk to astronomers. And, of course, our observation facilities such as the LOFAR radio telescope and the 2-meter optical telescope can be visited. Keep your fingers crossed that the Sun is shining, then observing "our star" might be part of the program.
There is lots to do and see around the observatory as well. Enjoy a hike in the forest or walk along the Tautenburg Planet Path and learn lots about the planets in our Solar System.
The Open House will start at 10 am and last till 5 pm. There is no fee. We are looking forward to seeing you on May 25!
