With Polaris 1 through the Dome: A Star Journey for Young Explorers
On 2026-05-29 at 15:30, a journey will begin at the Sparkasse Planetarium Augsburg, taking children aged 7 and up right into space. Polaris 1: The Space Submarine and the Secret of the Polar Night combines an imaginative story with a live moderated starry sky, making astronomy an immediate experience.
When a Penguin and a Polar Bear Launch into Space
The focus is on James, a curious penguin from the South Pole, who meets his friend Vladimir at the North Pole. Together, they observe stars, talk about the Polar Night, and build a spaceship that takes them around the Earth, to Mars, and to Saturn. This blend of child-friendly narration and cosmic vastness shapes the audience’s mood in the planetarium.
An Experience Between Knowledge and Wonder
