Travel from Bochum to Bonn and back:
There is one direct train line from Bochum's main train station to Bonn's main train station and back: the IC, which drives only a few times a day. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for one way.
There are several train connections from Bochum to Bonn, running 1-2 times an hour. They take about 2 to 2.5 hours for one way and require a transfer at the main train station of Düsseldorf or Cologne.
Since the talk at the Planetarium Bochum will be in the late evening, we recommend a stay in Bochum.

Accessibility of the lecture room in Bochum:
The lecture room in Bochum is located near the 'Bergbau-Museum' in Bochum. You can reach it easily by catching the underground (U-Bahn) train U35 (CampusLinie). You can get into the underground at the main station Bochum. On workdays, the U35 (going to Herne Schloß Strünkede) departs in five-minute intervals. You have to get out at the station 'Deutsches Bergbau-Museum', it takes about 2 minutes to go from the main train station to this station.
It is the easiest, if you follow the signs for the 'Bergbau-Museum' to get out of the station.
The event takes place in Bochum in the lecture hall from the archeological institute (red circle). You should see a lawn with the museum in the back when you leave the underground train station. In the map, you find the way from the underground stop to the building. Once you are inside, the signs will lead you to the lecture hall.
