Photos of BaaderPlanetarium's latest event at the "Garching Science Center" near Munich. This is one of the most important Science centers in Europe, where lots of professional Science institutes like "European Southern Observatory (ESO)", and "Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestical Physics" are situated. Scientists from all over the world are doing great research here! You can find there the main control facility for the 8 meter ESO telescopes in Chile, an construction center for Satellite instruments, an Atomic research plant, an research fusion reactor, the fastest super computer in Germany - and much more very high end science tools - it´s amazing! On Saturday they celebrated an "Day of open doors" in all Science Institutes - together with the "Galilean Nights". We placed an Baader Dome and lots of Celestron telescopes in front of the Max Planck Institutes near ESO. The clouds have dissapeared from time to time so we have been able to show the Sun and the Moon to appx. 1500 to 2000 visitors during the 8 hours they had opened this event for the public.
