In this program, children between the ages of five and eight can learn the cardinal directions with the help of a mnemonic and track the sun’s path across our hometown. After sunset, they’ll learn about some constellations, the movement of the stars, and the phases of the moon. Then they’ll observe astronauts working under their unusual conditions on the moon.
The presentation begins at 3:30 p.m. at the Mediendom (Building C06 ).
Please reserve tickets via the Mediendom website.
Astronomy can reliably predict what will happen in space billions of years from now: What will become of our Earth, the Sun, and the entire universe? In this show, audience members ages ten and up can embark on an astronomical journey through time into the distant future.
The show begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Mediendom (C06 ).
Please reserve tickets via the Mediendom website.
Ships, machinery, and other human activities make the ocean noisier than many people realize. Leonie Föhring, a doctoral student in naval architecture at HAW Kiel, explains how underwater noise is generated, what cavitation has to do with it, and why this is problematic for marine life.
