A cosmic journey through 14 billion years
The Planetarium Mannheim transforms into a fascinating time machine: The event Time Travel – From the Big Bang to Humans takes visitors from the beginning of the universe to the present, making cosmic development accessible through impressive images, scientific insights, and an immersive exhibition atmosphere.
From the Big Bang to the birth of stars
This exhibition focuses on the greatest processes of nature. Visitors experience the birth of the first stars, the formation of the Milky Way, and the development of the sun, planets, and Earth. Light, spatial effects, and large-format projections combine scientific precision with aesthetic experience.
The cosmic calendar as a key to understanding
To make unimaginable time periods comprehensible, the planetarium show compresses the history of the universe into a single year. The Big Bang occurs on January 1, while the present appears on December 31 just before midnight. One day corresponds to approximately 40 million years of real time.
Star explosions, comet impacts, and the development of life
Massive star explosions, catastrophic comet impacts on primordial Earth, and the development of life unfold as a scientifically based installation under the planetarium dome. The journey goes from the formation of Earth and the dinosaurs to the development of humans.
Cultural education for adults and children
The approximately 50-minute production is suitable for adults and for children from about 10 years old. As a collaborative production of ten German planetariums, it was created under the leadership of the LWL Planetarium Münster. Astronomy, geology, paleontology, and biology come together to create a vivid educational experience.
Conclusion: Science as an overwhelming artistic experience
Time Travel – From the Big Bang to Humans combines scientific expertise with visual dramaturgy and an immersive exhibition atmosphere. Anyone who wants to not only understand the formation of stars, planets, and life but experience it as an immersive aesthetic experience should live this journey through cosmic history at the Planetarium Mannheim.
