Join Paul on a look into the past, present and future of humanity's efforts to reach and explore the other planets in the solar system besides our homeworld! Mars, Venus and even far off icy worlds like Jupiter and its moons. Where will it lead us? Are we ready to become an interplanetary species? If you're in Munich and would like to learn more, don't miss the chance to hear Paul's excellent talks about the topic at the Volkssternwarte München! On November 8th you can enjoy his talk in English on planetary exploration (Tickets here) and on November 29th you can join the same talk in German (Tickets here).

Vor gut zwei Jahren feierte die DART Mission einen vollen Erfolg: sie versetzte die Bahn des kleinen Asteroiden Dimorphos durch einen Einschlag und zeigte so, dass wir Menschen in der Lage sein könnten, die Erde vor einem gefährlichen Asteroideneinschlag zu schützen. Das war aber natürlich nur der erste Schritt. Wir müssen noch viel lernen, damit wir im Ernstfall, wenn ein Asteroid wie Bennu in gut hundert Jahren uns evtl. gefährlich werden könnte, bereit sind. Jetzt startete DARTs Nachfolgerin: Hera. Sie macht sich auf den Weg zu Dimorphos um die Auswirkungen von DART genau zu untersuchen. Sie wird uns auf unserem Weg weiterbringen, der uns hoffentlich eines Tages zu den Hütern des Planeten Erde macht.   Moderation: Jana Steuer, MSc. Musik: lizenzfrei bezogen von incompetech.com

It's October! Which means, time for spookiness!  Astronomy can be pretty eerie. From skulls in the sky to aliens and asteroid impacts. On top of that, everything is played out on the vast stage of darkness.  Paul takes you along on a journey through the mysterious and scary parts of astronomy. The things we think we see, but are nothing more than a figment of our imagination as well as the things which definitely are there, even though they seem like spooky stories.  If you want to get some tickets for Paul's Halloween talk on October 31st, just click here!    Host: Paul Salazar Music: royalty-free from incompetech.com
