Liebe Studentinnen und Studenten der englischen und deutschen Sprachen, am Sonntag 28. Dezember besuchen wir Zeiss-Großplanetarium für die Sternstunde um 16:30. [https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde](https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde) Man braucht eine Eintrittskarte... [https://planetarium-berlintop3.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=9064](https://planetarium-berlintop3.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=9064) Diese Sternstunde ist auf Deutsch! Von Erfahrung weiß ich, dass man ziemlich gutes Deutsch haben muss, um eine Sternstunde zu verstehen. Setzt euch immer wo ihr wollt und wo ihr Plätze finden könnt. Persönlich habe ich den Sitz 22, Reihe 10, Block Nord. Wenn ihr Glück habt und ihr Plätze neben mir findet ist es umso besser. Wir begrüßen uns um 15:30 Uhr bei MATANGA - Cafe & Co., Dunkerstraße, in der Nähe von S Greifswalder Straße, und 16 Uhr laufen wir nach dem Planetarium. Wir können beides über die Signalgruppe und Meetup Chat kommunizieren. Ein Link zur Signalgruppe wird im Kommentar gegeben. Mir wurde die Frage gestellt „Hat die Sternstunde etwas mit Poetry zu tun? Da steht nichts von Poetry...“ Naja, Dichter nehmen oft Bezug auf die Sterne, glaube ich. Das ist eine Verweisung in die Wissenschaft, halt einen Vorschlag, dass man den Kopf hochhalten und aufrechterhalten solle. Zum Beispiel, der Dichter Philip Larkin im Gedicht ‚The North Ship‘, im ersten Gedicht, erzählt „Under a fire-spilling star,“. Für Poetry gibt es den Zusammenhang von den Sternen, und wenn man keine Kenntnis von diesem Zusammenhang hat, kann man die Gedichte nicht ganz gut lesen. Denn wir uns für das Lesen von Gedichten interessieren, sind Sternstunden gut. Kenntnis von den Sternen sind auch gut wenn man unterwegs ist, und wir möchten oft unterwegs sein. Auf die Sternstunde, das Gespräch, und die Gesellschaft freuen wir uns!!

Join us as we celebrate **National Spaghetti Day** with this hearty dish! Though the origins of spaghetti are disputed—whether it was Marco Polo bringing back culinary invention from the East or a home-grown Sicilian treat dating back to the 12th Century—we can all agree that a cold day with a big bowl of noodle-y, saucy goodness is balm for the soul. # Carfagnas Spaghetti and Sauce *Everybody's favorite!* Our handmade egg spaghetti topped with our homemade marinara and served with two of our famous meatballs. There are other classic spaghetti dishes on the menu, too. **Where:** We'll have tables in their beautiful upscale bar at Carfagna's Ristorante; and you need to check out everything Italian this place has to offer under one roof!! (shopping, pastry) ***Reservation for 12 under Michele Z starts at 2pm***. *Members Only.
