🚀✨ Welcome to the Annual Meeting of the German Astronomical Society! ✨🚀
From its very first gathering in Heidelberg back in 1863, this tradition has grown into a cornerstone of German astronomy. Today, we launch the 98th Annual Meeting, hosted at the German Center for Astrophysics (DZA) in Görlitz.

Heute Abend gibt es eine totale Mondfinsternis über Deutschland: Der Mond steigt ab ca. 19:37 Uhr bereist rötlich verfinstert am Horizont auf und bleibt bis etwa 20:52 Uhr in seiner roten Pracht. Suche dir einen Standort mit freier Sicht nach Südost!
