The Herschel Space Observatory (English lecture)
* Celebrating 200th death anniversary of William Herschel in 2022 *
Lecture in English
Dr. Jeroen de Jong, Observers Group at Deutsches Museum
Friday, 8 April 2022, 8 p.m.
at Volkssternwarte (Munich Public Observatory), Rosenheimer Str. 145h, 81671 München
The Herschel satellite was the largest space observatory ever built. It was operational from 2009 until 2013. With its 3.5-meter-mirror it took images and spectra of unprecedented resolution. Herschel detected cold sources in the universe at low infrared wavelengths. Its observations helped to sort out many questions about the formation of planets, stars and the whole universe. The speaker will present his own experiences with the mission and its highlights as he has contributed to PACS, one of Herschel’s three instruments.
After the talk and discussion, guests are welcome to live observations at the rooftop telescopes, if skies are clear.
