Zeiss-Planetarium Jena: A Glimpse into Infinity

Jena, 29.07.2026: The Zeiss-Planetarium Jena presents the astronomy program “Future – A Glimpse into Infinity,” taking visitors on a journey through billions of years.

From the Origin of the Cosmos to the Distant Future

The event spans vast periods of time from a scientific perspective. The journey begins approximately 14 billion years ago with the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the young universe. Following the formation of the Milky Way and the birth of our Sun four and a half billion years ago, the focus shifts to Earth and the development of life.

Subsequently, the astronomy show looks far ahead: across geological eras, continents shift due to tectonic movements until, in about 250 million years, all landmasses unite into a single supercontinent. Furthermore, the production highlights the future fate of the Sun and the entire universe. The show was created in cooperation with 17 planetariums from Germany and Austria under the leadership of the Planetarium Münster. The program complements the diverse offerings at the Zeiss-Planetarium Jena.
