A starry adventure for the whole family at the Augsburg Planetarium

When James and Vladimir set off again with their space submarine Polaris, the dome of the Sparkassen Planetarium Augsburg transforms into a stage for curiosity, wonder, and scientific fantasy. The second journey of the popular series takes you right into a poetic universe of shooting stars, meteors, and celestial puzzles. The performance is designed as a live-moderated planetarium program and usually lasts 60 to 70 minutes.

When research becomes a stage set of light

The production combines a contemporary look at the starry sky with the announced film part. This very mix is what makes it appealing: the audience experiences not just the transfer of knowledge, but a stage experience between storytelling and celestial mechanics. The planetarium operates like a precise theatrical instrument - with darkness, lighting mood, and the special acoustics of the dome.

Lucia and the question of the stones of light

At the center of the story is a narrative that captures both children and adults alike: After a collision with a meteorite, James and Vladimir, along with Lucia, a hummingbird, search for answers about the origin of the shooting stars. The journey takes them to the moon, through the asteroid belt, and to the edge of a comet's nucleus. Thus unfolds a dramaturgically clear sequence of discovery, danger, and realization, which is narrated in a child-friendly way while being astronomically grounded.

For families, young explorers, and curious adults

It is precisely this mix of adventure, astronomy, and emotional character guidance that elicits a friendly audience reaction: understandable for young guests, technically sound enough for adults seeking a thoughtful cultural format. The atmosphere remains both relaxed and focused. ([s-planetarium.de](https://www.s-planetarium.de/programm/alle-programme/der-kleine-major-tom-aufbruch-ins-ungewisse/?utm_source=openai))
