A cosmic expedition under the star dome

On November 19, 2026, the S-Planetarium Augsburg will transform into a gateway to the most fascinating worlds of our solar system. The planetarium show Planets – Expedition into the Solar System combines astronomical education with an impressive aesthetic experience and takes visitors from the immense landscapes of Mars to the icy edge of the solar system.

Mars: Valleys, Volcanoes, and Red Expanse

The journey begins with a view of our planetary neighbor. Huge valleys and volcanoes appear under the dome in a spatial effect that makes scientific insights directly palpable. Photographs and data from unmanned space probes reveal perspectives on a world whose landscapes seem alien yet truly exist.

Comets, Jupiter, and the Dynamics of Space

The expedition continues to a comet, whose cosmic appearance is observed up close. Then Jupiter takes center stage: Cloud vortices, storms, and the enormous atmosphere of the giant planet convey the dynamics of planetary processes. Light, motion, and digital projection merge into an immersive art experience between science and visual design.

The Rings of Saturn and the Remoteness of Pluto

A highlight of the artistic observation in an astronomical sense awaits the audience at the rings of Saturn. Their clear form language and the extraordinary spatial effect of the planetarium dome create images of great aesthetic intensity. At the edge of the solar system, the journey finally leads to the dwarf planet Pluto and to the icy worlds beyond the familiar planetary orbits.

Astronomy as Cultural Education

The show is a co-production of German-speaking planetariums and is aimed at an audience aged ten and above. The regular presentation combines the announced planetarium film with a live-moderated section on the current night sky. This creates a connection of scientific expertise, illustrative explanation, and a personal exhibition atmosphere. Astronomy is made palpable as cultural education: understandable, visually powerful, and open to curious questions.

Conclusion: Experience the Solar System Live

Planets – Expedition into the Solar System offers an impressive art experience for families, school classes, astronomy enthusiasts, and anyone wishing to see the cosmos with new eyes. Visitors can expect a visually strong journey to Mars, comets, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, supported by scientific insights and the unique atmosphere of the planetarium dome. Anyone wishing to combine the aesthetic experience of the night sky with solid knowledge transfer should experience this expedition live at the S-Planetarium Augsburg.
