A journey through space, time, and research
The presentation begins with photons and the particle accelerator in Europe, then opens the view to the young cosmos and traces the trail of Dark Matter to the scientific milestones of Fritz Zwicky and Vera Rubin. This creates a dense, visually striking program that cleverly combines expertise and wonder. The mixture of science communication and immersive projection is what makes the appeal of this 360° film.

The planetarium as a stage for great images
The URANIA Planetarium sees itself as an interactive star theater, where a digital dome space becomes an experiential space. This environment creates the special event atmosphere: darkness, projection, sound, and cosmic vastness intertwine. For the audience, a calm, focused, and yet impressive event experience emerges, distinctly different from a classic film screening.

Location, admission, and practical tips
The event takes place at the URANIA Planetarium at Gutenbergstr. 71-72 in 14467 Potsdam. The ticket area opens 30 minutes before the start, tickets should be collected at least 5 minutes before the start, and according to house rules, admission after the event has started is no longer possible. Punctual arrival is therefore particularly important. The regular public events last about 60 minutes according to program type; for this show, a compact, approximately one-hour evening format is to be expected.
