Saturday 15 October 2011 between 11:00 and 18:00 at ESO Headquarters in Garching, near Munich, Germany.</p> <p>The highlight of ESO’s Open House Day 2011 — weather conditions permitting — will be the outdoor construction of a full-sized model of what will be the biggest telescope mirror ever built. Using 798 cardboard hexagons, each roughly 1.4 metres across, visitors will assemble a mock-up of the 39.3-metre diameter main mirror of the <a href="/web/20220402052818/https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/elt/">Extremely Large Telescope</a> (ELT). The mock-up will occupy an area of nearly 1000 square metres on the ground next to the ESO Headquarters building.</p> <p>The ELT is ESO’s most ambitious project so far and it will become the world’s biggest eye on the sky. With start of operations planned for early in the next decade, the ELT will tackle the biggest scientific challenges of our time, and aim for a number of notable firsts, including tracking down Earth-like planets around other stars in the "habitable zones" where life could exist. Click <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/videos/elttrailer/">here</a> to watch a short video about the ELT.</p> <p>Apart from this unique event, the programme for this year includes a wide range of activities for all ages:</p> <ul> <li>Exciting demonstrations, exhibitions and lectures on the discoveries made with ESO’s telescopes, the advanced technology behind them, and the day-to-day workings of the observatory;</li> <li>A live video link to Paranal Observatory, home of ESO’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt.html">Very Large Telescope</a> on a remote mountaintop in the Chilean Atacama Desert, 11 400 km away from Garching;</li> <li>Have your infrared photo portrait taken;</li> <li>Planetarium shows;</li> <li>Solar observations (weather conditions permitting);</li> <li>Sending postcards from the edge of the Universe;</li> <li>Question-and-answer sessions with ESO astronomers;</li> <li>Fun activities for children and parents such as face painting.</li> </ul> <p>Media representatives who wish to attend the event are kindly asked to confirm their participation to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/mailto:osandu@eso.org">osandu@eso.org</a>.</p> <p>More information will be available soon.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.forschung-garching.de/"><img src="/web/20220402052818im_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/news/tofft2011.jpg" border="0" width="180" height="135" style="float: right;"/></a>This event is part of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.forschung-garching.de/">Open House Day</a> activities for the whole Garching research campus, and several other local institutes will also open their doors to the public.</p> <p>Announcements: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/announcements/ann11057/">http://www.eso.org/public/announcements/ann11057/</a></p> <p>Open House Day held 2009 (in German): <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/events/special-evt/openhouse09.html">http://www.eso.org/public/events/special-evt/openhouse09.html</a></p> <h3><strong>Programme</strong></h3> <p><strong>Area 1</strong>: Welcome to ESO — get free material about ESO, programme and map of the event from here, as well as help with directions.

Oktober 2011 von 11:00 bis 18:00 seine Türen für jedermann.</p> <p>Das Highlight des Tages – gutes Wetter vorausgesetzt – wird der der Aufbau eines Modells vom Spiegel des zukünftigen größten Teleskops der Welt auf dem Außengelände des ESO-Hauptsitzes in Originalgröße. Die Besucher können die 798 einzelnen Segmente des 39,3 Meter durchmessenden Hauptspiegels des <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/e-elt.html">European-Extremely Large Telescope</a> (ELT) mithilfe von 1,40 Meter großen Sechsecken aus Pappe nachstellen. Das fertige Modell wird knapp 1000 Quadratmeter Fläche belegen.</p> <p>Das ELT ist das bislang ehrgeizigste Projekt der ESO. Es wird einmal das größte Teleskop der Welt werden. Wenn es Anfang des nächsten Jahrzehnts den Betrieb aufnimmt, soll das ELT sich den größten wissenschaftlichen Herausforderungen stellen. Dazu gehört unter anderem der Nachweis eines erdähnlichen Planeten in der so genannten habitablen Zone eines Sterns, auf dem sich also Leben bilden könnte. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/videos/elttrailer/">Hier</a> finden Sie ein kurzes Video über das ELT.</p> <p>Zusätzlich zu dieser einzigartigen Aktion beinhaltet das diesjährige Programm eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten für alle Altersstufen:</p> <ul> <li>Vorführungen, Ausstellungen und Vorträge über die Entdeckungen, die mit ESO-Teleskopen gemacht wurden, die hochmoderne Technologie dahinter und den täglichen Betrieb der Observatorien</li> <li>Live-Videoschaltung zum Paranal-Observatorium, wo sich auf einem abgelegenen Berggipfel in der chilenischen Atacamawüste - 11.400 km von Garching entfernt - das <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt.html">Very Large Telescope</a> der ESO befindet</li> <li>Lassen Sie sich mit einer Infrarotkamera fotografieren</li> <li>Planetariumshows</li> <li>Sonnenbeobachtung (nur bei klarem Himmel)</li> <li>Versenden Sie Postkarten vom Rand des Universums</li> <li>Frage- und Antwort-Runden mit ESO-Astronomen</li> <li>Spiel und Spaß für Eltern und Kinder wie beispielsweise Kinderschminken</li> </ul> <p>Weitere Informationen folgen in Kürze. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.eso.org/public/events/special-evt/openhouse09.html">Hier</a> können Sie in der Zwischenzeit Details zum Tag der offenen Tür 2009 nachlesen.</p> <p>Presse- und Medienvertreter, die die Veranstaltung besuchen möchten, werden gebeten sich bei Oana Sandu (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/mailto:osandu@eso.org">osandu@eso.org</a>) anzumelden.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.forschung-garching.de/"><img src="/web/20220402052818im_/https://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/news/tofft2011.jpg" border="0" width="180" height="135" style="float: right;"/></a>Die Veranstaltung ist Teil der Aktivitäten anläßlich des <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220402052818/http://www.forschung-garching.de/">Tages der offenen Tür des Forschungscampus Garching</a>, an dem sich auch viele andere Forschungsinstitute in der unmittelbaren Umgebung beteiligen.</p> <h3><strong>Programm</strong></h3> <p><strong>Bereich 1</strong>: Willkommen bei der ESO — hier erhalten Sie<br/> kostenlose Materialien über die ESO, das Programm und den Lageplan für den heutigen Tag und Hilfe bei der Orientierung.
