Co-produced by leading European planetaria and the European Space Agency, Touching the Edge of the Universe is an exciting and imaginative celebration of science and discovery
Four hundred years after Galileo's revolutionary discoveries, two sophisticated scientific satellites are launched into the Universe. These complex space telescopes will look deep into space at very distant events that our eyes cannot see. They will observe the birth of stars and planets and look back to the very beginning of time. Touching the Edge of the Universe brings the secrets of the distant cosmos direct to the audience.
Created using the latest technology for full dome and analogue planetaria; shot on location at the European Space Agency's Main Control Room in Darmstadt, Germany; featuring highly sophisticated 4K animated graphics and detailed scenes never before seen on a planetarium dome; produced with professional actors and a 'Red-One' digital camera this stunning 45-minute planetarium show sets a new benchmark for cutting-edge edu-tainment.
Since its premiere in May 2009, more than a hundred thousand viewers across Europe have enjoyed Touching the Edge of the Universe. Now the show is available in multiple languages and in a new, condensed 25-minute version for audiences worldwide. Bring the show to your planetarium today!
