During this journey through space, students learn all about constellations, why the Moon looks different every day, and how our solar system is structured.

What is a constellation, exactly? Who came up with the figures in the night sky? And how many stars can you actually see at night? These questions form the basis for understanding space and the universe. In the ARTIS-Planetarium, children discover everything beyond Earth.
