Planetarium Zodiac

Celestial movements spanning three and a half years in 35 minutes. The space time machine of the planetarium makes it possible! ZODIAC conveys fundamental celestial phenomena in an easily understandable manner. To achieve this in the real world, you would have to study the sky for three and a half years. In the Planetarium's a lot easier. In addition, you will be able to look a few hours ahead into the future! ZODIAC offers the best possible introduction to finding your way around the sky. Visitors learn about the Pole Star and the Plough as aids to orientation; they discover why the moon changes its appearance, follow the moon on its flight through the heavens and observe how it obscures the sun, causing an eclipse. They accompany the sun on its apparent journey through the heavens and discover the constellations of the Zodiac. Comparisons are made of the sun's path and the starry splendor of the summer and winter skies.

The presentation concludes with an immersive live tour of tonight’s sky—an engaging experience that is always changing—brought to life by Digistar 7.
