Observe, marvel, experience—discover the universe with the nationwide Long Night of Astronomy!
This year, the Planetarium Berlin Foundation’s program will once again take place at the Zeiss Grand Planetarium and on its expansive outdoor grounds.
Look forward to a varied, free program for the whole family and two astronomical highlights in the night sky!
In the planetarium auditorium, cosmic journeys of discovery await you with various fulldome programs. In the theater and the foyer, you can watch live broadcasts of the total solar eclipse from Spain and enjoy engaging presentations by experts on astronomical topics.
All around the Zeiss Grand Planetarium, numerous interactive hands-on activities invite you to explore—from craft stations to telescope observations and exciting lectures, right up to the INTENSE mobile planetarium.
In addition to the solar eclipse, another spectacular celestial event awaits you: the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.
The full program will be published shortly.
