Experiencing the Cosmos, Understanding X-ray Astronomy
The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) is presenting itself at the Potsdam Science Day, which takes place on Saturday, 13 May 2017, in the Science Park Potsdam Golm. Researchers of more than 40 universities and institutes will give an insight into their work and the international cutting-edge research.
The AIP exhibition stand will be in the building of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, in short MPI-AEI). Scientists will introduce the AIP and for example demonstrate how X-ray astronomy works. Visitors can furthermore have a look at the history of the cosmos, travel virtually to observatories and space, take a bath in dark matter, and take home a 3D hologram. There will also be more than 200 separate events.
Prof. Dr. Klaus Strassmeier, Director of the AIP’s research branch Cosmic Magnetic Fields, will explain what astrophysics teaches us about life in the universe. This talk will take place in the seminar room in the MPI-AEI building, ground floor.
