Night at the Observatory

At the Archenhold Observatory in Berlin-Treptow, visitors look at the sky over Berlin through the 500 mm mirror telescope, a Cassegrain reflector: planets, the Moon and deep-sky objects such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Experts answer questions live and share background on the objects, the instruments and the history of the observatory.

The session is held partly outdoors and in unheated rooms, so warm clothing is recommended. Runs 90 minutes, from age 12. Not wheelchair accessible.
