A cosmic itinerary for the whole family
The 360-degree show focuses on visualization rather than dry facts. After starting at the local night sky, visitors learn about the constellations of the zodiac as well as myths and stories from various cultures. From there, the route leads deeper into our solar system: passing the Earth’s moon, the fictional spaceship heads toward the Sun and neighboring planets such as Venus and Mars.
Subsequently, the presentation ventures into distant galaxies and colorful cosmic nebulae, where new stars are born. Finally, the passengers return to Earth, which floats as a glowing blue jewel in the darkness. The program is specifically aimed at families and provides age-appropriate answers to fundamental questions of astronomy.
