Organizer's schedule
We invite you to the Night of Scientists, taking place at the premises of the Academy of Sciences institutes in Prague's Spořilov. Get ready for fascinating visual experiments!
Explore the Planeterrella aurora simulator, observe planetary magnetic fields and their interaction with the solar wind, listen to the captivating sounds of space, and admire an LED sphere full of light effects. On-site, we'll create a fire tornado and calm our nerves by making a rainbow. You’ll also be able to create your own landscape in an interactive AR sandbox, and on the “board tectonics barrel organ,” you'll witness the ongoing cycle of creation and destruction of lithospheric plates and the formation of volcanoes.
Come experience science interactively and discover the secrets of the Earth and the universe with your own eyes!
