Journey to a Billion Suns
Mapping the universe with ESA's Gaia mission.
Have you ever considered, how the distance to the stars is measured? Join us on our stunning journey to the 3rd dimension of our MilkyWay…
»Journey to a Billion Suns« is produced in cooperation with the European Space Agency ESA and planetariums in the world. For ages, 3D measurements in space have been impossible and our Milky Way has remained a real mystery. Today satellites can measure star distances at incredible accuracy and make us understand the structure and size of our home galaxy. But how and why did technology and science come so far? This Fulldome show will guide us through time and history, explain basic technologies of star mapping and take us on a fascinating journey along the numerous features of our Milky Way. A breath taking adventure, linked to the European Gaia mission, launched in December 2013.
