Sternennacht auf der Habichtwiese

In the organizer's words:

August 12 is shooting star time again. We offer you a colorful program on this day.

It starts with fairy tales about the sun, moon and stars. At around 7 pm, Astrid Heiland-Vondruska invites you to the "Fairytale star hour - fairytales about the sun, moon and stars from all over the world!" by the fire bowl.

Then comes Christian Starke, singer and songwriter. From 20:00 there will be something to listen to: Singer and songwriter Christian Starke from Potsdam plays, sings and interprets familiar and new songs, pop and folk, oldies and rock to sing along to, romantic songs to dream to - just right for the campfire. Unplugged and open air!

From 9 p.m., we start stargazing together with the Potsdam Planetarium. We will set up telescopes on the Habichtwiese and observe the starry sky. The Perseids, also known as the Tears of St. Lawrence, are a meteor stream that recurs annually in the first half of August and has a clear maximum of shooting stars on this day. The Perseids have their origin in comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, whose dust trail, which this comet has left behind in space, then crosses the Earth.
