Planeten - Expedition ins Sonnensystem

In the organizer's words:
Remote-controlled space probes have explored all our planets and discovered many exciting things. Travel with us to these worlds.
The first stop is the moon, the only celestial body on which astronauts have landed so far.
However, the first destination for future space travelers will be our red neighboring planet. Of all the planets in the solar system, Mars is the most similar to Earth. Researchers therefore hope to find signs of life on it.
The journey continues to the four large gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune with their numerous moons. Along the way, we pass a comet. This flying iceberg still preserves the materials from which the planets were formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Even further out is the dwarf planet Pluto. It was visited by a space probe for the first time in 2015. We have only recently discovered that it has an extremely contrasting surface - with pitch-black cratered landscapes and snow-white glaciers.
Exploring the universe is fascinating and always brings surprising discoveries. Experience the natural wonders of the objects in the solar system with us! A production of the planetariums Münster, Bochum, Mannheim and other German planetariums.

The program received an award at the Fulldome Festival in Toulouse in 2018
