100 Years of Eternity: Berlin's Star Theatre

Planetarium director Tim Florian Horn tells the story of Berlin's first planetarium at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium. It opened at the Zoo on 27 November 1926 and has left no physical traces today. The lecture follows early attempts to depict the night sky artificially, from globes and mechanical planetariums to the first optical-mechanical projectors, then the planetarium's growth into a place of astronomical education and the future of digital domes.

Projections, archive images and 360-degree animations accompany the talk. Runs 60 minutes, from age 10.
