An Adventure for Young Explorers

The story is based on the successful children's book series about Major Tom, which has been published since 2018 in cooperation with Tessloff Verlag and the German Aerospace Center. The show makes this world experienceable in the planetarium as a visual space adventure and is aimed, according to the program, at children aged 7 and above.

The Power of the Dome

Particularly impressive is the theatrical atmosphere in the darkened dome hall of the planetarium. The venue describes its hall as air-conditioned, with a diameter of 10 meters and a visualization that stretches the sky in all its breadth. This creates a quiet, focused audience feeling, where light, sound, and movement act as a single performance. ([s-planetarium.de](https://www.s-planetarium.de/ueber-uns/technik/?utm_source=openai))
