In the organizer's words:

(due to the KVB strike, many places have become available at short notice, so just come along this evening!)

🌌🔭 Invitation to the public evening lecture: "Where do the chemical elements of our universe come from?"🔭🌌

Hello dear sleuths, inquisitive minds and universe fans,
Have you ever wondered where the chemical elements that make up everything come from - including us? Then you've come to the right place tonight for our fascinating lecture!

Prof. Dr. Roland Diehl from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics will take us on an exciting journey into the secrets of the universe. He will explain how cosmic processes such as fusion in stars and supernova explosions create chemical elements and how they spread to us on Earth.

🎓 What can you expect?

• Insight into the formation of chemical elements through stellar processes and explosions.
• The question of how we can recreate cosmic conditions in the laboratory.
• Fascinating scientific methods such as the study of stardust and the use of high-precision telescopes.
