About
Das Sonnensystem is one area of the free permanent exhibition at the Museum zur Himmelskunde in Berlin's Archenhold-Sternwarte, an observatory in Treptow that houses the famous Great Refractor telescope. It shows a 283.5 kg touchable iron fragment of the meteorite that formed Arizona's Barringer Crater, models and panels on the sun, planets, comets and meteorites, and the telescope with which Karl Ludwig Hencke discovered the asteroid Astraea in 1845.
