Humanity's Greatest Picture Book

Since the beginning of time, in the firelight of their huts, people have told each other stories about the starry sky.

This celestial stories and maps served as a calendar to determine sowing times, festivals and for navigation.

All cultures around the world have created their own constellations and beautiful stories associated with them.

Let yourself be inspired by my Stargazing Tours to read in this “Greatest Picture Book of Humanity”.

Light pollution

60% of people in Europe have never seen the Milky Way from their homes due to light pollution, and 99% live in light-polluted regions.

That is why UNESCO recognized the dark night sky as an intangible world cultural heritage in 2010.

Observe the starry sky far from light pollution during my Stargazing Tours and learn what you can do against light pollution yourself at home.

Orientation in the night sky

Knowledge of the starry sky is increasingly being lost, not least due to light pollution.

How can I use the starry sky to determine the cardinal directions and navigate? How does the starry sky change over the course of a year? And what is the story behind the zodiacal star signs?

Learn how to easily find your way around the starry sky with my Stargazing Tours.

The fascination of astronomy

Many people have a keen interest in the starry sky from an early age on.

We have a deep curiosity to understand “what is really out there”. However, quite a few people have never seen Saturn's rings or Jupiter's great red spot through a telescope in their lives before.

Discover the starry sky through professional, mobile telescopes during my Stargazing Tours.

Experience nature at night

Did you know that nocturnal moths make up about 95% of the native butterfly species?

The night is a habitat in itself. Many animals such as birds, insects and marine life also orient themselves by the starry sky. This habitat is also severely threatened by light pollution.

Experience the natural night habitat with all your senses during my Stargazing Tours and learn how to protect it.
