A one-and-a-half hour documentary on how an international consortium led by the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research is planning the flight of the most capable solar observatory ever to leave the Earth's surface. Carried by a stratospheric balloon, the observatory Sunrise III is set to fly from Sweden to Canada in the summer of 2022. Free from disturbances of the Earth's atmosphere, under conditions resembling space, it is expected to continuously observe the solar surface with unprecedented precision during its five-day flight. The anticipated dataset will influence astrophysics for decades to come. The film follows the Sunrise III team during the final sixteen months before the flight.

Did you see the reenactment of the Sunrise III flight with a cute little model at the kids' show? https://academiccloud.social/@imprs_solar/114723459947791480 Meanwhile, all our visitors of course also got to see the real Sunrise III observatory up close. Certainly one of the absolute highlights of this #ndwgoe! Did you manage to get a selfie in the mirror?
