Description

Leibniz-instituttet for astrofysik i Potsdam er efterfølgeren til det astrofysiske observatorium i Potsdam (AOP), der blev grundlagt i 1874. Sidstnævnte var verdens første observatorium, der eksplicit fremhævede forskningsområdet astrofysik. Det var her, den amerikanske videnskabsmand Michelson udførte sit eksperiment i 1881 relateret til måling af Jordens rotation. Han antog, at en lysstråle sendt i samme retning som Jorden bevægede sig rundt om solen skulle blive bremset lidt af ætervinden. Beviset skulle gives ved at måle lysfarten "opvind og nedvind". Den enhed, han byggede, var et halvmirroret spejl, der ville dele strålen op i to lysende bearbejdede messingarme, der kørte i vinkelret retning, hver en meter lang. For at holde enheden stabil og fri for indflydelse, placerede han den her i kælderen på det astrofysiske observatorium. Desværre lykkedes det ham ikke at bevise sin teori.
