The public astronomy lectures by Prof. Dr. Johannes Ohlert have a tradition at the THM in Friedberg and always attract interest both inside and outside the university. This winter semester, the programme once again turns to current events in the near and distant cosmos and covers the basics of astronomy and astrophysical topics.

The lecture begins on Thursday, October 16, at 3:40 p.m. in Room A4 0.14 on the THMFriedberg campus (Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße 13). Further events in the series will take place there every Thursday at the same time until the end of January. The lectures will also be streamed online.

Prof. Ohlert sees his lecture as an attractive scientific addition to the THM's range of studies: "This offers the opportunity to expand one's own idea of ​​the cosmos, which everyone develops personally, and to place it on a physically and scientifically sound basis."

Weather permitting, practical observations will provide in-depth insights into the lecture topics. Live images from the observatory of a guest lecturer have been broadcast several times. Participants are also welcome to visit the "Michael Adrian Observatory" of the Trebur Astronomy Foundation, which operates one of the largest publicly accessible telescopes in Europe.
