Einstein Tower, solar observatory C016 / 6358
Einstein Tower. This tower is a solar observatory located in Albert Einstein Science Park, Potsdam, Germany. It was built from 1919 to 1921, under the direction of the physicist Erwin Finlay-Freundlich who wanted a building in which he could conduct experiments to test Einsteins theories of relativity. It began operations in 1924. Today it is used as part of the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Einstein Tower, a solar observatory nestled within the picturesque Albert Einstein Science Park in Potsdam, Germany. Constructed between 1919 and 1921 under the visionary physicist Erwin Finlay-Freundlich's guidance, this architectural marvel was specifically designed to conduct experiments that would put Einstein's theories of relativity to the test. Since its inauguration in 1924, it has played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of astrophysics. The tower stands tall as a testament to both scientific ingenuity and historical significance. Its European charm is evident in every detail of its exterior, harmoniously blending with the surrounding landscape. As one gazes upon this magnificent structure, they cannot help but be transported back in time to witness an era where groundbreaking discoveries were made. Today, the Einstein Tower continues to serve as an integral part of the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam. It remains at the forefront of astronomical research and exploration, contributing immensely to our knowledge of space observation and beyond. In capturing this extraordinary moment frozen in time by DETLEV VAN RAVENSWAAY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded not only of Albert Einstein's profound impact on physics but also how his theories continue to shape our understanding of the universe itself.
