The public astronomy lectures by Prof. Dr. Johannes Ohlert have a tradition at the THM in Friedberg and are constantly attracting interest both inside and outside the university. This summer 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 starts on Thursday, April 11th, at 3:40 p.m. in room A4 0.14 on the THMcampus Friedberg (Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße 13). The other events in the series follow every Thursday at the same time. At the same time, the lectures are broadcast via the Internet. Information about this is available on the home page.

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

If the weather is suitable, practical observations should provide in-depth insights into the topics of the lecture. Live images from the observatory of a guest auditor of the lecture have been transmitted several times. The “Michael Adrian Observatory” of the Trebur Astronomy Foundation, which operates one of the largest publicly accessible telescopes in Europe, is also open to participants.
