Astronomical Time Travel at the Zeiss-Planetarium Jena

Jena, 21.07.2026 – The Zeiss-Planetarium Jena offers a scientific outlook on cosmic development with the show “Future – A Glimpse into Infinity.” The production illuminates the astronomical processes that will shape our solar system and the universe over the coming billions of years.

From the Big Bang into the distant future

The astronomical time travel begins with a look back: The show takes the audience 14 billion years into the past to the formation of the first stars and galaxies. The development of our solar system four and a half billion years ago, which led to the emergence of Earth and life, is described in particular detail.

Following this, the production turns its gaze forward. Astronomically reliable calculations show how the Earth’s continental drift will change over millions of years, until all landmasses merge into a supercontinent in approximately 250 million years. In addition to these terrestrial processes, the fate of the Sun and the entire universe is also addressed.

The Zeiss-Planetarium Jena is considered one of the most modern facilities worldwide and serves as a central location for the dissemination of knowledge. The current production is the result of a cooperation between 17 planetariums from Germany and Austria, which underscores the high scientific and technical quality of the astronomical visualization.
