An experience for the whole family
The multimedia journey begins at the night sky directly above Jena. Zodiac constellations are observed, traditional myths and stories are told, and interpretations from other cultures are presented. The journey continues past the Moon, the Sun, and the visible planets of the solar system, reaching distant galaxies and cosmic nebulae where new stars are born.
The focus is on fundamental questions of astronomy: Which constellations are visible in the night sky? What are Mars or Venus like? And how is our solar system structured? The immersive presentation in the 360-degree experience makes astronomical concepts tangible and understandable.
