Hungary’s largest astronomical research institute (HUN-REN R CAES) is located at the observatory\, we can also find Budapest’s larges t telescopes here. In the beginning of the program\, we will take a walk i n the park of the astronomical institute\, surrounded by ancient trees. We learn about the romantic history of the historical buildings\, as well as the most exciting research currently underway in the institute. At the Bu dapest Dome\, we will visit the city’s largest telescopes\, and we get t o know the history of the observation instruments and the stories of the a stronomers. With the help of the giant telescope\, we will examine the Sun \, admire the structure of sunspots\, and observe fountain-like solar prom inences. Finally\, in the lecture hall\, we will explore the dazzling worl d of meteorites. We will discuss the story of shooting stars\, where they come from\, and how the Solar System was formed. With our polarizing micro scopes we will project and examine the rainbow-colored crystals of various meteorite types. Finally\, we will touch the billion years old meteorites \, to feel how heavy these space stones really are. Our program is in Engl ish\, it takes 2 hours\, and is recommended from age 12.
