Being planetarians, Mark and Volker had to visit the planetaria in the
area. The first was the
Nicholaus Copernicus Planetarium in Nürnberg -- and as luck would
have it, the place was under renovation. This is the view from the
McDonald's across the street.
Director Uwe Lemmer was swamped with telephone calls and requests for
media interviews, as you would expect just before an eclipse.
But he was happy to give Volker and Mark the tour of the "hardhat zone."
It seems he's always donning strange headgear when we see him. Last time it
was in London. |
