On Thursday 10 July Kosmisches Kino continues with Catarina Aydar who will tell us all about supermassive black holes and how these objects are essential for understanding the evolution of the Universe. This event will be in English and you can read more about it here.
 
And, on Friday 11 July, enjoy music under the dome as Fiona Grond presents her latest programme Hearts Wide Open. Read more about this event here.
 
We look forward to welcoming you in the ESO Supernova.
