Sessions in the Planetarium (IVT)
The IVT has a capacity of 42 people so we suggest that people register to attend.
11:40 to 12:40 Exploring the Universe from elementary particles to Galaxies.
14:00 to 15:00 Exploring the Universe from elementary particles to Galaxies.
The show will include the film Phantom of the Universe, which showcases the exploration of dark matter, from the Big Bang to galaxies to the Large Hadron Collider. Following the film, there will be a tour of the solar system using the Planetarium.
