Long Night of the Sciences in Dresden with DZA participation

Getting up close and personal with researchers - that's what the DZA is all about. Martin Roth is a professor at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam and is currently setting up an optics laboratory for the DZA on the Alstom site in Görlitz. He specializes in optical instruments and those that work in the near-infrared range. These are used in ground-based telescopes and in space. Martin Roth last appeared at the Long Night of Science at TU Dresden. The audience's reactions: fascination and enthusiasm.

One after the other. In two lectures, Martin Roth explored the questions of how the breathtaking images of galaxies, gas nebulae and star clusters are created. He also talked about how the first color photo of a black hole was taken. Long after the official end of the event, the questions to him did not run out. The team around Martin Roth with Marlene Wolf, Johannes Wünsche and Stefan Ohm jointly prepared and organized the Long Night of Science. Now we are continuing to bring order to the many questions and aspects relating to astrophysics. We would like to make these accessible to everyone in a FAQ as soon as possible.
