Come join us on August 12th in celebrating a partial solar eclipse and the Perseids meteor shower! Experience shows in a mobile planetarium, hands-on experiments, lectures – and, of course, sky observations.

Come talk to members of the planetary atmospheres group about possible Master thesis projects applying data science methods to water vapour retrieval in Earth's atmosphere: now waiting for you to stop by at the CIDAS market place at #GWDG!

A look into the “GREGOR Observations Center” GOC at MPS Göttingen during this month’s remote campaign at the GREGOR Solar Telescope, located on Tenerife. Many great active regions and sunspots, but unfortunately clouds obstructed our view. Hoping for better conditions for our August campaign together with Solar Orbiter 🛰️ 🔭🤞

#MPSGoettingen wishes you happy holidays and a healthy and successful New Year 2026!

Featuring prominently on our season's greetings card: the first images of the Sun's south pole 🛰️ ☀️

During its flyby of the Sun at the end of March this year, the Solar Orbiter space probe had its first clear view of our star's poles. Solar Orbiter's trajectory has recently been tilted 17 degrees relative to the Sun's equator, allowing measurements from this unique perspective for the first time. As the new observations impressively show, the magnetic field at the poles is currently in a state of turmoil.

In addition to the images of the sun's south pole taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, the past year has brought us many other highlights: exciting scientific results and important awards. Read more at https://www.mps.mpg.de/en/season-s-greetings-2025

#ParkerSolarProbe was in the right place at the right time in September 2022: It passed through a magnetic reconnection region in the Sun's corona. #SolarOrbiter observed the event from a distance. Study led by #SwRI in @NatureAstronomy

During his recent work at #GREGORSolarTelescope on #Tenerife, #mpsgoettingen electronics engineer Adrian Tuschinsky took these amazing shots of #comet #C2023A3! Thanks for sharing! #Tsuchinshan_ATLAS #TeideObservatory
