Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS)

The research focus of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research is our cosmic neighborhood: the solar system with its planets and moons, comets and asteroids as well as the sun. The aim of the scientists is to describe the processes in the solar system in models and to simulate them on the computer. In addition, instruments are being developed and built to study these bodies from space. The Institute is involved in numerous space missions. The institute is organized in three scientific departments and further research groups. - Department Sun and Heliosphere - Planetary Science Department - Department Solar and Stellar Interiors Imprint / Cred https://www.mps.mpg.de/imprint
