Stargazing Night – Learning to Read the Night Sky

Constellations, mythology & orientation – a night of celestial insights

Date: Friday, 13 February 2026

Gemeinsam mit Sternenführerin Marianne Götsch tauchen wir in die Geheimnisse des Nachthimmels ein. Together with star guide Marianne Götsch, we dive into the secrets of the night sky. You will learn how to recognise constellations, hear their mythological origins, and reflect on compelling questions: What significance does true darkness still have today? And how does light pollution influence our natural rhythm? A memorable evening for anyone who wants to truly experience the night sky.
