What does cotton candy have to do with planetary systems? 🪐

Kepler-51 is a sun-like star located 2,600 light-years away and orbited by four exoplanets. Due to their extremely low average density, these four planets are sometimes referred to as "super-puffs" or "cotton candy planets". The images show representations of the Kepler-51 planetary system created with ZEISS UNIVIEW™.

ZEISS Planetariums have been bringing the stars to life for over 100 years, enabling astronomical education, research, and fascination thanks to their innovative technologies. ⭐

Hundreds of Sandhill Cranes take flight in impressive synchrony, while thousands of Snow Geese circle above them in the sky over the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in .

Moments like these exist only because the Bosque del Apache protects the wetlands and roosting sites these birds depend on. ZEISS Ambassador Julia Zarankin experienced this dawn spectacle up close with her ZEISS Victory SF binoculars.

On today’s , we celebrate these extraordinary encounters and remind ourselves how important it is to safeguard their homes. 🦅

Every microchip is a technological marvel, featuring layers that are primarily created using the remarkable power of deep ultraviolet (DUV) light. 🔦

And this technology is here to stay! Smart home appliances, lifestyle products, and electric vehicles contain microchips that are mostly produced with DUV technology. To meet the demand, ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) is investing in enhanced efficiency and innovative solutions. This takes DUV lithography to the next level and drives digital transformation! 🚀

Die Zukunft der Innovation beginnt nicht morgen – sie forscht schon heute. 💡🔬

Wir sind davon überzeugt: Wer junge Köpfe fördert, investiert in die Zukunft. Deshalb ist die Förderung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in den Bereichen Forschung und Entwicklung für ZEISS ein fester Bestandteil.

Ob Mikroskopie, Programmieren, Elektronik oder Künstliche Intelligenz – die Energie und der Entdeckergeist beim Landeswettbewerb , der gestern in Oberkochen stattfand, waren deutlich spürbar. Rund 120 MINT-Talente verwandelten unsere Räumlichkeiten in Labore voller Ideen. Ihre Projekte zeigten eindrucksvoll, welches Potenzial in der nächsten Generation steckt und wie wichtig es ist, dieses gezielt zu fördern.

It’s question time! We put Michèle Finck in the hot seat. She is the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Professor for Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen and Co-Director of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law.

Her answer really surprised us. 😲

Viele Teilchen und Strukturen bleiben dem bloßen Auge verborgen. Doch was wäre, wenn wir genau sie sichtbar machen könnten? 🔬 💫

Seit über 400 Jahren ermöglicht uns die Mikroskopie, die Welt mit anderen Augen zu sehen. Mikroskopische Details können auf riesige Planetariumskuppeln projiziert und Zellstrukturen als beeindruckende 360°-Bilder erlebbar werden.

Bei den Thementagen „Unsichtbare Welten: Vom Mikrokosmos zum Universum" vom 16.–18. April im Zeiss-Großplanetarium in erlebst Du genau das. In Workshops kannst Du selbst mit ZEISS Mikroskopen mikroskopieren und experimentieren – begleitet von Expertinnen und Experten, die spannende Einblicke geben.

Combining the restoration of aquatic habitats with STEM education for children. 🔬

Under special permission, ZEISS volunteers from the “A Heart for Science” initiative entered the Imperial Palace Outer Garden Moat in Tokyo to collect benthos and aquatic organisms. Together with children, they conducted hands-on sampling and microscopic observation in a biotope, deepening their understanding of urban nature. The project was run in close cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and the Nature Conservation Society of Japan.

*Please note that the entry into the moat requires special permission from the Ministry of the Environment.

Even the tiniest organisms in lakes are important to our ecosystem. 🌊

Our ZEISS team in Tokyo collaborated with the Ministry of the Environment, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and the Nature Conservation Society of Japan to investigate this vital connection. They helped to restore the aquatic environment of the Imperial Palace Outer Garden Moat and to rebuild a biodiversity network. 🧪

During a workshop with children, collected water samples were then examined under ZEISS microscopes to showcase why small organisms matter for an intact ecosystem. For this project and their commitment, the volunteers were honored with one of this year's A Heart for Science awards.

On today's , we want to highlight the importance of clean water and raise awareness about water quality. Because water is one of the most essential resources for all life.
