360° Science at hereon

The two tours "The Path of Light" and "The Experiment" start in the control room of BESSY II. We continue to the place where electrons race through and emit light at almost the speed of light - the storage ring tunnel. Follow the light and see how we experiment with it.

Start your interactive tour through the research of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB).

Explore the 70-meter-long KArlsruhe TRitium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN) at five positions in 360° all-around view and learn via X-ray vision how the tiny mass of the lightest particle in the universe is "weighed" inside the giant experiment.

To the virtual KATRIN tour

The Pierre Auger Observatory Visitor Center in Malargüe, Argentina, features a permanent interactive exhibit with models, videos, real-time detectors, and detailed posters that allow visitors to understand the observatory's purpose and work.

But if you prefer to look around from the comfort of your own sofa, you can also take a virtual tour of the Visitor Center.
