High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) Khomas Hochland, Namibia

Look at the sky!!

Look at the sky: many, many stars => our Galaxy

Another galaxy: far away but just like our own galaxy

Many galaxies out there!!

What our telescopes see is very special: What is that stuff ??

Star Explosion:

Old Star Explosion

One star eats the other:

Violent Galaxies:

Particles from these objects produce short lightnings in the air far above the telescopes

Telescope

Big Computers read the Images

Camera: Electronic Eye of the Telecope
