Today’s #girlsday and #boysday at #mpsgoettingen offered a day full of hands-on experiments dealing with vortices and #meteorites and practical exercises in our workshops. Thanks to everyone for making this happen! #zukunftstag
The event kicked off with a lecture that took the audience on a journey through the depths of space. This bear, which can blink, was created in the electronics workshop. A chocolate marshmallow bursts in the vacuum bell jar.

A slide summarizing the three Sunrise missions in four irregularly placed panels: Flight paths projected on a map for all three missions, a picture of the Sunrise telescope and the Sunrise team on the ground, and two text boxes explaining the mission objectives and the mission characteristics. A slide on the Zeeman and the Hanle effect, specifically pointing out that the Hanle effect was discovered 101 years ago in Göttingen. A wide-angle view of a large auditorium with a title slide high up on the wall, a speaker center stage far away, and the audience filling the right half of the image. An image of the Sun is featured prominently on the title page.

And that was that ... unobstructed view of the Sun again, and the live stream has ended. Thanks for watching! #partialsolareclipse2025
Screenshot with predominantly orange colors: a round shape in the center, which is the Sun seen through telescope optics with a filter, against a darker orange background. The image has a title saying "Live Bild" and a footer with the logo of the Institute für Astrophysik & Geophysik. Screenshot simply showing the words "Stream offline".
