Educational Value and Fascinating Prehistoric Journey
The story centers on a curious girl named Celeste, who is preparing a school presentation on the extinction of dinosaurs. Supported by her mysterious friend “Moon,” she embarks on a journey of discovery where Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and various predatory dinosaurs come to life. Young viewers experience the development of these prehistoric giants firsthand and learn about the cosmic background behind the sudden mass extinction.
In addition to the 28-minute dinosaur adventure, the show includes a fixed astronomical component. In a 15-minute introduction before each screening, children are given an easy-to-understand explanation of the current seasonal night sky. In this way, the Zeiss-Planetarium Jena bridges the gap between modern fulldome technology, astronomy, and paleontology.
