Billions of suns - A journey through the galaxy

Event for young people and adults

For a long time, the distances in space were completely unknown. Yet the stars have always been people's companions. But people had no idea what the stars really were and it was not until the middle of the 19th century that the German scientist Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel was able to measure the first stellar parallax and determine the first correct distance to a star.

Not only the size of the universe, but also the variety of objects in our home galaxy is breathtaking. At the centre of our galaxy lies a black hole that organises all these objects and forces them to wander forever. With the Gaia space mission, a true quantum leap in the mapping of the universe is now imminent. The 45-minute 360° dome programme is designed to whet the appetite for science and adventure and will transport the viewer into an overwhelming world of images. It combines learning and experience and opens up new horizons - both spatially and culturally.
