The Anton Pannekoek Institute will again participate with the Nacht van de Nacht, a special event focusing on light pollution. During this event you can join our astronomers in the domes each hour to stargaze if it's clear. If the weather is bad, there will be a tour with information about what happens in the domes and we'll show you work that was done in the domes. There are Dutch and English spoken tours.
Event details of Nacht van de Nacht
Date

Time
20:00 -23:59
Location
Science Park 904

The "Nacht van de Nacht" is an initiative of the Dutch nature and environmental agencies to put light pollution on the map. Darkness is -just as silence, an unpolluted soil and clean water- one of the most elementary parts of nature. This means we have to be careful not to disturb it too much. This night we'll take you with us on a tour through our domes, that obviously also work best in the dark.

This time, you can register for one-hour tours through the domes. With stargazing if the sky is clear, of course. The tours will be in Dutch. Please register for one of the time slots through the links below. This time, Jupiter and Saturn will be visible!

Registration

Registration for this event is not strictly necessary, but if it's very busy, people with tickets take precedence over people with no tickets. Tickets from no-shows will be redistributed at the time a tour starts, so please be on time!

Registrations start a week before the event. Please refer to the registration page for the links. 

If you would like to receive a reminder on the day the registrations start, please follow us on social media or subscribe to the newsletter.
