The AIP invites you to a live Babelsberg Starry Night at the Babelsberg campus:

• 19:15: Lecture by Dr Tanya Urrutia: ‘The Hubble and Webb Deep Fields: Children's Images of Our Universe’ (in German)
• After the talk, we offer a guided tour of the research campus Babelsberg. If the sky s clear, you can observe the night sky at one of our reflecting telescopes.

We look forward to your visit! Free admission, no registration required.

In 1995, a small revolution in extragalactic astronomy began with the publication of the Hubble Deep Fields. The ‘deep’ observations with very long exposure times in seemingly empty regions of the sky enabled us to look deep into the past of our universe and thus draw statistical conclusions about the development of galaxies. Today, the James Webb Telescope complements the Hubble optical images in the infrared. In her lecture, Tanya Urrutia will present these ‘deep’ images, her own work on complementary spectra with the MUSE instrument at the Very Large Telescope in Chile and give an outlook on future research in this field.

After the talk, we offer a tour over the AIP research campus Babelsberg. If the sight is clear, it will also be possible to take a look through one of our historical reflecting telescopes.

We look forward to your visit!

Free entry, no previous registration necessary.
