You probably know the feeling of looking up at the night sky and wondering: Why are we here and what do we consist of? Science gives us a fascinating answer - we are created from stardust, and the universe is the very premise of our existence.
In this engaging talk, astrophysicist Anja C. Andersen takes the audience on a journey through time and space, presenting the latest discoveries in astrophysics. With energy and humor, she explains how stars form, what we know about dark matter, and how the evolution of the universe is linked to our own origins. Drawing on her research on cosmic stardust and current breakthroughs in galaxies and black holes, she offers a new perspective on the big picture.
The lecture is for anyone who wants greater insight into the mysteries of the universe - and who wants to go home with new knowledge, greater understanding and a sense of how extraordinary our world actually is.

Skodsborg – a healthy part of Denmark’s history
When you check in at Kurhotel Skodsborg, you are also checking into a piece of fantastic Danish history that is all about retreating for a while and re-energizing your body and mind.
In 1852, King Frederik 7 bought the country house Skodsborg with his wife, Countess Danner, and together they spent their long, relaxing summers here until his death in 1863. Villa Rex was built in 1857 so that the king could hold councils of state, meetings and banquets without leaving the scenic surroundings of Skodsborg. Villa Rex has been renovated with respect for history and is now used for parties and meetings.
