- 🌈 Polarlichter über Potsdam – Letzte Nacht löste eine starke Sonneneruption Polarlichter über Potsdam aus. ☀️ 🌌Dieses Naturschauspiel entsteht, wenn energiereiche Teilchen der Sonne mit dem Erdmagnetfeld und der Atmosphäre in Wechselwirkung treten. 🔭 #polarlichter #auroraboreal #potsdam
- 🌌 Das Universum – unendliche Weiten. Wie schnell es sich ausdehnt, beschreibt die Hubble-Konstante, doch ihr genauer Wert ist umstritten. 💫 Mehr dazu im Vortrag von @galacticrave.bsky.social aus der Reihe der virtuellen #BabelsbergerSternnenächte ✨. Jetzt reinschauen: youtu.be/0wfPdhJWMTM
