ECLIPSE - Im Schattenreich des Weltalls

In the organizer's words:

n 2026, we will be able to observe two eclipses in the sky over Cologne: A partial solar eclipse on the afternoon of August 12 and a partial lunar eclipse in the early hours of August 28. These shadow plays in space are not just limited to the sun, earth and moon - they also take place on and with other planets and moons in the solar system.

Professional astronomers even observe eclipses many light years away in the vastness of the Milky Way. This lecture with pictures, animations and "virtual eclipses" in the artificial sky of the Leinwand-Planetarium reveals how and with what you too can observe eclipses of all kinds.
(An event for the whole family, including children aged 10 and over).

Speaker: Rudolf Tonn ; Star guide: Heiinrich Knauf

Depending on the ticket option, either lecture only or lecture plus sky observation with the telescope, or a visit to the observatory in cloudy weather.
