Visiting the planets in the company of Kepler? An expedition to the exciting world of space astronomy

Linz is where it’s at! All of 400 years ago Johannes Kepler formulated the laws of planetary motion. There was of course no way he could have known what these mean to us and to the exploration of space by modern science. In close analogy to the planets, every satellite follows the lines Kepler plotted across the skies. We will be dealing with topics as diverse as Kepler’s revolutionary discoveries, state-of-the-art space telescopes and the observation of distant planets in other solar systems.

Lecture for children between the ages of 9 to 12, 30 participants
