See the partial solar eclipse on the AIP campus in Potsdam-Babelsberg

Visit us on the AIP campus for exciting talks and a live observation of this fascinating astronomical event. If the sky is clear, you can take a safe look at the partial solar eclipse through our telescopes.

Our new Astro*Bistro will be open for you at lunchtime until 13:30 and will offer a selection of snacks and drinks.

Program on 29 March 2025

  • 11:00 a.m. - Talk, Dr. Alexander Warmuth “The mysteries of the corona: From the solar eclipse to space missions”
  • 11:30 a.m. - Start of the solar observation
  • 11:45 a.m. - Observation at our telescope
  • 13:00 - Talk, Dr. Rainer Arlt “Historical sunspots and their scientific correlations”

Important note: Please never look at the sun without protection. This can lead to permanent eye damage. Our observation station provides special solar filters so that you can enjoy the event safely.

We look forward to your visit - admission is free

The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) is dedicated to astrophysical questions ranging from the study of our sun to the evolution of the cosmos. The key areas of research focus on stellar, solar and exoplanetary physics as well as extragalactic astrophysics. A considerable part of the institute's efforts aims at the development of research technology in the fields of spectroscopy, robotic telescopes, and e-science. The AIP is the successor of the Berlin Observatory founded in 1700 and of the Astrophysical Observatory of Potsdam founded in 1874. The latter was the world’s first observatory to emphasize explicitly the research area of astrophysics. The AIP has been a member of the Leibniz Association since 1992.
