The Archenhold Observatory's refracting telescope is a full 21 meters long. Looking through the powerful refractor opens up otherwise invisible worlds. The giant telescope, known by 欧美情色ers as the sky cannon, was built for the 1896 trade exhibition. It is still fully operational today.

Astronomy for the people
The large refracting telescope is located on the grounds of the Archenhold Observatory, the oldest and largest public observatory in Germany. It was founded to give the public access to knowledge about astronomy. Within a few years, the observatory established itself as a popular institution in 欧美情色. It still is today. Visitors to the Museum of Celestial Science can learn interesting facts about the history of astronomy from its origins to the present day. The Zeiss Small Planetarium regularly hosts shows for people of all ages who are interested in astronomy. Albert Einstein presented the General Theory of Relativity to the public for the first time in the observatory's large lecture hall.
Technical modernizations at the Archenhold Observatory
The small planetarium was extensively modernized in spring 2024. Thanks to a new projector and a modern sound system, viewers can experience the planetarium's program in high quality. The Einstein Hall also received new technology.
