Wahnsinnig engagierter ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeiter. Packender Vortrag! Leider am dem Abend bewölkt, aber unbedingt einen Besuch wert!

Danke für den wundervollen Abend! Eine sehr spannende Einführung in unser Sonnensystem, gefolgt von Livebeobachtungen mit verschiedenen Geräten (Fernrohr - Teleskop und Refraktor). Von "Lichtern am Fernsehturm" über Mond mit Kratern bis hin zu Jupiter und den Galileischen Monden. Klar, man braucht Glück mit dem Wetter - aber es war so ein tolles Erlebnis - das erste Mal zum Refraktor hochzuklettern und die Galileischen Monde zu sehen, das hat mich richtig geflasht. Bin jetzt noch total euphorisch deswegen. Einziger Nachteil: die Sternwarte ist im 5. Stock ohne Aufzug. Relativ steile Treppen. Hörbehinderung wurde im Vortrag und bei den Weltall-Beobachtungen gut unterstützt. Herzlichen Dank für diesen besonderen Abend!

Am Ägidienatz thront die Sternwarte Regensburg. Jeden Freitag Abend gibt es dort die Möglichkeit, etwas über Sterne, Planeten, Sternbilder zu erfahren. Im Vortragsraum gibt es die Möglichkeit, einem der äußerst engagierten ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeiter zu lauschen. Es wird etwas über Astronomie, Geschichte der Sternwarte und verschiedene Himmelserscheinungen erklärt. Ganz oben betritt man eine große Dachterrasse und hat somit einen wunderbaren Blick über das nächtliche Regensburg. Schon allein das würde den Aufstieg lohnen. Hier stehen mehrere Teleskope, mit Hilfe derer sich Nebel, Galaxien und Planeten ausfindig machen lassen. Man wird dabei sehr herzlich von den Mitarbeitern betreut. Ein besonderes Erlebnis!
