Our home in space

The highlight of this exhibition is the original 283.5-kilogram meteorite from the Arizona Meteor Crater.

Models, display panels, and texts convey the latest findings on the Sun, planets and minor planets, meteorites, and comets.

A notable feature is the telescope with which amateur astronomer Karl Ludwig Hencke discovered the minor planet "Astraea" in 1845.
