SATURDAY'S SHOW 

13.00: Meet astronomer Johan Warell from the European Southern Observatory
What can you see in the autumn sky? The sky is full of planets, stars and galaxies that you can see with the naked eye or a telescope. But there are also many exciting objects that astronomers have learned more about recently. Here you will gain new knowledge about things you may have never thought about!

15.00: Air and water show
Join us when our students show about air and water! What happens to a marshmallow in a vacuum or to a balloon in liquid nitrogen? And what does a cloud feel like? You will learn that and much more in our Air and Water Show!

SUNDAY'S SHOW
