The Invisible Universe
A 360° show about deciphering the cosmos in all its facets.
For millennia, humans have observed the light emanating from the night sky with their own eyes. At the beginning of the 17th century, Galileo Galilei's invention of the telescope revolutionized our understanding of the universe. In the 20th century, the development of rockets finally made it possible to fly beyond Earth's atmosphere and observe X-rays and gamma rays, the signs of the hot and turbulent universe. But light is not the only source of information about the cosmos. Neutrinos and cosmic rays also provide crucial insights. Finally, the discovery of gravitational waves from two merging black holes by the LIGO experiment opened a new window into astrophysics.
Immerse yourself in the invisible universe in this 360° show at the planetarium and marvel at how modern research unlocks the secrets of space.
