📣 On Saturday 21 June, it's going to be a very busy night in Göttingen - the Night of Science! This channel is going to be equally busy, with a daily countdown giving you previews of activities you'll find at our location. These posts will predominantly be in German.

If this is a bit too verbose for you, you can mute or filter the hashtag #ndwgoecountdown to not see the daily countdown posts.

Did you see the reenactment of the Sunrise III flight with a cute little model at the kids' show? https://academiccloud.social/@imprs_solar/114723459947791480 Meanwhile, all our visitors of course also got to see the real Sunrise III observatory up close. Certainly one of the absolute highlights of this #ndwgoe! Did you manage to get a selfie in the mirror?

It may appear to be looking empty and quiet at the MPS Göttingen right now - but we have been bustling about and are very busy getting everything ready for our visitors at the Night of Science tomorrow! Care for a few sneak previews in today's thread?

A view from street level of a five-story building, consisting of a two-story base and an off-set three-story upper part protruding from the base part towards the camera. Both parts feature many window fronts. The lower part of the building continues to the right out of the picture frame. There are a few steps and a wide ramp leading up to the building, to the left and right of a fountain in front of the entrance. Parts of a landscaped garden frame the steps and ramp on each side. Above the entrance, the building features large black letters on the bright facade "Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung". The sky is bright blue, and the protruding upper part of the building casts a shadow onto the left lower part.

A picture taken from an elevated viewpoint from inside a building looking back towards the building's entrance area. There are tables to both sides of a closed large glass entrance door and chairs arranged behind the tables that face the corridor created by the tables. Closer to the image front plane, there is a large ladder next to a staple of additional chairs. Off in the far background to the right, more tables mark the areas where stands are being set up. In the front left image corner, red rope cordons off something big just outside the image frame.

Ein Whiteboard an dem Fotografien hängen. Die Bilder zeigen verschiedene Weitwinkelaufnahmen einer Sonnenfinsternis. Vor der Tafel, die Rücken dem Fotografen zugewandt, stehen mehrere Menschen, betrachten die Bilder und zeigen darauf.

The International Max Planck Research School for Solar System Science becomes a permanent institution in Göttingen and Braunschweig

The Solar System School, the joint graduate school of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the University of Göttingen, and the Technical University of Braunschweig, is now a permanent fixture in doctoral training in Göttingen and Braunschweig. The Max Planck Society will continue the International Max Planck Research School for Solar System Science at the University of Göttingen and at TU Braunschweig for an indefinite period. The IMPRS doctoral program offers students from all over the world the opportunity to obtain a doctorate in the field of solar system research... https://www.mps.mpg.de/bright-future-for-solar-system-school

A collage of four photographs showing doctoral researchers in various work settings. From left to right and from top to bottom, the four pictures show: Two young women, one sitting and one standing, in front of computer screens on a desk in an office, looking at the screens and pointing. A young man in a light mint green T-Shirt in a lab environment, standing with his back to the viewer, his body facing machinery but his head turned back over his right shoulder to face the viewer. A person in white clean room attire including gloves and a hair net bent over a lab bench with equipment sitting on it, their hand stretched out to the piece's end that's oriented towards the viewer. Bottom right, a control room with desks and monitors as well as a large screen on the wall, operated by two young researchers sitting at the desks and focusing on the monitors and screens.

#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

A view of half the Sun in short wavelengths, with the disk surface appearing very active and the inner corona outside the disk glowing bright. Towards the bottom of the disk, a map is superimposed that is labelled "Sol Australis Incognita". At the bottom right just outside the disk, a space craft has been inserted, and below that centered the words "Season‘s Greetings".
