Dear readers of the ESO Supernova newsletter,
For centuries, the stars and the countless secrets of the Universe have always fascinated people around the world. Telescopes have revolutionised the way astronomers look at the stars and view the world. But only recently did the wonders of astronomy become even more accessible to the general public. 100 years ago, the invention of the first planetarium projectors and the subsequent opening of the first planetarium brought the stars to earth for everyone to grasp.
We would like to celebrate the planetarium's 100th birthday with you for a period of 100 days. Our campaign culminates on 7 May, 2025, exactly 100 years after the first planetarium in the Deutsches Museum in Munich opened its doors in 1925.
Our special programme takes you on a unique journey. Discover how planetariums, as a gateway to space, not only inform many people, but also inspire and become a diverse event location. A temporary exhibition, extended opening hours, special showings in the planetarium and various public talks are also part of our special programme. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, where you can take a look behind the scenes of the ESO Supernova and get a chance to win special prizes in one of our 100 Days of Planetarium lotteries.
You can find more information about our special programme on our event page.
We look forward to your visit during the 100 Days of Planetarium!
