When Science Becomes Atmosphere

The event combines astronomy, evolution, and impressive fulldome images into a dense event experience. The planetarium transforms into a time machine: The Big Bang symbolizes January 1, the present symbolizes December 31. This creates an understandable view of the cosmos's development, which also engages younger knowledge fans.

A Program with Depth and Strong Images

The show relies on the latest scientific findings regarding the development of the solar system, Earth, and life. According to the program, scientific calculation data was used and more than 20 experts from astronomy, geology, paleontology, and biology were involved. This creates authority, provides orientation, and makes the presentation exciting for adults interested in natural sciences and space travel.
