Audio Universe-Tour of the Solar System
The audience of this 35 minute show is transported inside a special spacecraft that takes them to the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) to view the stars in the night sky, before lifting them off into space to visit the Earth, Moon, Sun and all the planets of the Solar System.
Unlike traditional planetarium shows the soundtrack takes the lead role. Each of the objects in space is represented with sounds as well as being presented with visuals. The audience listens to the stars appear and hears the planets orbit around their heads. This means that this show is an immersive experience that can be enjoyed irrespective of the level of vision.

New Show!--The Universe Through All The Senses
When asked to talk about the universe, astronomers will describe it to you in a thousand different ways. Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System, charming comets, hot stars and ethereal nebulae, they’ll take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter, a few black holes, a dash of dark energy and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles.
However, for an ordinary Earthling, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook, without being able to taste the individual ingredients, let alone the finished product. That’s why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way – you will experience it with all your senses.
