We are pleased to invite you to the public lecture “Der Blick ins Universum: Neue Teleskope für die Astronomie" (in German).
Michael Stein will explore with you the remarkable capabilities of modern telescopes. Without these instruments, new discoveries in astronomy would be impossible — as they are always closely linked to advances in technology.

We are pleased to invite you to the public lecture “Kleine Galaxien - Große Wirkung: Von Zwerggalaxien, galaktischen Winden und den ersten Galaxien im Universum" (in German).
Dominik Bomans will show that 'small' is anything but insignificant — especially in the realm of galaxies. It is these dwarf galaxies that provide the crucial building blocks for the formation and evolution of all galaxies, even the largest ones.
