Report

On Saturday, April 16, we conducted together with the Association „Die Spur“, the event "Sun and Spring Forest" for children in the age from 6 - 10 years in Vienna. Our goal is to awake children´s interest for the exciting topic Astronomy and motivate them to continue to deal with this topic.

The event was divided into an astronomical and a nature part. It started at about 15:00 CET with the observation of the sun on a cloudless sky. We could observe sunspots. After this we started the natural part, a walk through the woods, where we could observe a lot of animals.

At the end of the event, we gave tips for observing the forthcoming Mercury transit on May 9 and informed about our planned event in Laxenburg.
