A Virtual Reality Journey Through Our Solar System

Art & Science in Conversation | Long Night of Museums

Die Marsoberfläche in Virtual Reality – Die Marsoberfläche in Virtual Reality

Take a virtual journey across the surface of Mars, Saturn’s moon Enceladus, and through the solar system.

In 3D environments developed specifically by and in collaboration with the FU, you can fly over the Martian landscape, dive into its deep canyons, fly along the massive ice plumes of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, or take a virtual dive into its interior. Based on scientific analyses of the outer characteristics of this icy moon, this creative visualization offers a fascinating journey into an extraterrestrial world and highlights its importance for Earth.

Participation in the VR missions is limited. You can book a slot online in advance using this link for free:
The event code is: LNDM26
