| Abstract: |
Since October 2009, a unique facility is being erected on the grounds
of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy on top of the Königstuhl
Mountain above Heidelberg, in the immediate vicinity of the State
Observatory. It will be dedicated to the communication between
scientists, to the development of educational material for junior and
high school students, to the training of teachers and student teachers
in physics, astronomy and natural sciences, and to the information of
the media and the general public about new developments and results in
astronomical research. The building will be donated by the Klaus
Tschira Foundation, while the Max Planck Society, the University and
the City of Heidelberg, and the State Departments of Research and of
Education will share the running costs of the new institution. |
