A collage of four photographs showing doctoral researchers in various work settings. From left to right and from top to bottom, the four pictures show: Two young women, one sitting and one standing, in front of computer screens on a desk in an office, looking at the screens and pointing. A young man in a light mint green T-Shirt in a lab environment, standing with his back to the viewer, his body facing machinery but his head turned back over his right shoulder to face the viewer. A person in white clean room attire including gloves and a hair net bent over a lab bench with equipment sitting on it, their hand stretched out to the piece's end that's oriented towards the viewer. Bottom right, a control room with desks and monitors as well as a large screen on the wall, operated by two young researchers sitting at the desks and focusing on the monitors and screens. A seminar room with a group of roughly thirty young people sitting around a U-shaped conference table, looking up at the camera. People posing for a group photo at the entrance of a historical building. It's round and extends upwards beyond the frame of the image.

Thank you so much to @AIP_Potsdam for hosting us today and showing us around some of the fascinating venues on Telegraphenberg in the Wissenschaftspark Albert Einstein as well as your Potsdamer Babelsberg site! We saw the impressive Great Refractor, the […]

View from the back of a large modern seminar room to the front of the room with the title slide of an exoplanets talk projected. A group of people are sitting on chairs in the room, anticipating the start of the talk. Inside a large cupola with a wooden roof, a group of people are looking at a large refractor telescope. It's two very long tubes on a mount, painted dark green. The instrument is huge in comparison to the people standing underneath it.

An evening scene by the lake side: Colors are all subdued pinks and blues, with dark silhouettes. Sitting and standing on an elevated lake shore, a group of people only visible as silhouettes against the still reflecting surface of the lake and a dramatic sky above the treeline on the opposite shore. A seminar room with a group of roughly thirty young people sitting around a U-shaped confernce table, looking up at the camera.

And then the Sunrise III flight, kids' version! Just look at how absolutely adorable this demonstration turned out to be 🤩 A launch with a bunch of helium balloons (several of them just to be sure!), a short flight, and finally the landing sequence - […]

Helium-filled household balloons being attached to a telescope model. In the foreground, little people watching what's happening on stage. A tiny Sunrise model is floating through the room. A person standing on a table, reaching up to the balloon with a pair of scissors and cutting the string between balloon and the attached model.

Curved spacetime! Angular momentum conservation! It's hands-on physics with cool space applications.

A round blue cloth with little white balls rolling towards its depressed center. An audience gathering around the installation. Cut-out shot of the blue cloth showing about a quarter of the circle, with more action among the various balls rolling around this time. A person sitting on a rotating chair, holding a spinning wheel. Presenters standing around, and a group of kids sitting on the floor in the background looking towards the action on the stage.

Spectroscopy! First, theory: this is what a star's spectrum looks like - a rainbow 🌈 Then, application: how to separate an image into its the two colors that is is made up from using a prism or or grating. It needs to be dark to see this well, so we had […]

A teen bending over print-outs of rainbow-colored stripes: a star's spectrum. More people crowd around the same table, the picture is taken peeking through a small gap between two of them. A picture that is mostly dark. Near the image center, two light blobs in red and yellow color as projected into a wall and appear distinctively off-set. Two kids' heads are barely visible in the dark, looking into the direction of the projection.

A wide-angle view of a courtyard, framed by two stories of its host buildung. In the courtyard, chalk drawings on the floor, a parasol, and a round blue cloth. Little people scurrying around it all.

Cartoon of a Mars Rover: grey wheels, white body parts, a camera arm with eyes and a smiling face, an experiment arm lowered towards martian soil. The soil is depicted as an orange-red pattern, above this a green-blue sky sprinkled with colorful star shapes.

Screenshot of a website featuring part of a cityscape in pixel graphics, with a central three-story building surrounded by hedgerow-separated yards. One of the yards features a lerge monument with the Minerva logo and the text MPG City. Overlaid onto that cityscape is a person with an associated speech bubble saying "Check out the MPG City!"

A group of ten people posing for a group picture in front of a large colorful world map. They are side by side in a row, all looking towards the camera and smiling. Most of them wear a clip-on name tag. Above theirs heads the title of the world map poster says "IMPRS for Solar System Science at the University of Göttingen - International Max Planck Research School".
