Distant Worlds – Alien Life? at the S-Planetarium Augsburg
This astronomy and knowledge show takes the audience right into one of the great questions of natural science: Is there life in the cosmos? On July 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the Planetarium Augsburg invites you to an immersive quest that combines science, wonder, and aesthetic experience. The presentation is aimed at visitors aged 10 and above and takes place in the dome-filled space of the S-Planetarium.

A Unique Art Experience
The Planetarium is not a classic museum, but a space for visual knowledge: Under the 10-meter-high dome, a realistic simulation of the sky is created that draws attention to the solar system, the Milky Way, glowing gas clouds, and exploding stars. The 360° projection makes the audience part of the action. ([s-planetarium.de](https://www.s-planetarium.de/ueber-uns/was-ist-ein-planetarium/))
Science as a Sensual Staging
The show combines astronomical education with impressive spatial effects. Sitting in one of the 70 comfortable seats, visitors experience the projections as an atmospheric journey through time and space. Since its founding, the S-Planetarium has seen itself as an educational institution for conveying astronomical knowledge to the general public.
