Fascinating family experience under the planetarium dome
With the new program, the Zeiss-Planetarium Jena offers a varied mix of astronomy and paleontology. At the beginning of each show, the presenters explain the current starry sky over Jena in a child-friendly and easy-to-understand manner. This approximately 15-minute introduction provides young visitors with their first knowledge of constellations and orientation in the night sky.
A journey through time to the rulers of the prehistoric era
In the subsequent 28-minute main part, the audience accompanies the girl Celeste and her mysterious friend “Moon” on a fantastic journey through millions of years of Earth’s history. On the 360-degree dome, children encounter impressive Brachiosauruses, armored Ankylosauruses, and fearsome carnivores. The show explores scientific questions and sheds light on how dinosaurs evolved and what happened during the great extinction.
