Öffentlichkeitsarbeit

An dieser Stelle möchte ich versuchen, einer breiten Öffentlichkeit astronomische Zusammenhänge so einfach wie möglich zu erklären. 

Sollte es Fragen oder Anregungen zu einem bestimmten Thema geben, würde ich mich über eine Anfrage per E-Mail freuen. Ich bin auch gerne bereit, Vorträge für alles Altersgruppen vor Ort zu halten - sowohl in Deutsch als auch Englisch.

Public outreach

On this page I present some videos of my public talks where I try to explain the results of astronomical studies hopefully easyly understandable.

If you have any questions or suggestions to certain topics, I am happy to answer your e-mails. I am also happy to give all-age talks on site either in German or English.


Music of the Spheres - Reloaded

Did you know that the structure of our Asteroid Belt is following a musical scale?

The gaps in the belt named after the Astronomer Kirkwood are spaced similarly as musical intervals. 

 

If you want to know more about that, watch my talk  here.

In this talk I explain what astronomers think the star of Bethlehem could have been.  This talk is suitable for all ages.
