In 2024, our group participated in the "Lange Nacht der Forschung" (Long Night of Research) event, Austria's biggest national outreach event for science and research.

With a toy model constructed by the instrumentation team at the Department of Astrophysics, we illustrated the concept of exoplanet transits and light-curves for about 1500 visitors, who visited the Sternwarte during the event. We also designed a poster to accompany the practical demonstration of exoplanetary observations (see below).
