We celebrate space at the observatory!  On April 12th it's all about space travel: How does it actually work, where have people already flown, how do we use space travel every day - and where should we go in the future? At the VEGA Observatory Haus der Natur we offer workshops for children and young people on the subject of space travel, where we learn how rockets work and also try to make our own rockets. But astronomy shouldn't be neglected either: when the weather is nice, we'll use our solar telescopes to take a close look at our star! You can register via the Haus der Natur website . Simply click on April 12th in the events calendar and register for the desired workshop/lecture! Yuri’s Night 2024 – Wir feiern Weltraum. Date And Time: 2024-Apr-12 @ 02:00 AM to 2024-Apr-12 @ 09:00 PM Location: VEGA Sternwarte Haus der Natur Salzburg, Hochberg, Obertrum, Austria .
