Galactic encounters

A journey through the Milky Way

Kollision der Milchstraße mit der Zwerggalaxie Sagittarius – Eine Visualisierung der Kollision der Milchstraße mit der Zwerggalaxie Sagittarius, die seit mehreren Milliarden Jahren andauert.

With live moderationEmbark on a breathtaking journey through the Milky Way and discover the cosmic movements that shape our place in the universe.Our lives are measured in motion: The Earth spins, we orbit the sun. While the stars in our night sky appear fixed and the constellations unchanging, they are in constant motion. The sun - and therefore we - are also constantly moving around the center of the Milky Way.Be there when these movements become visible. State-of-the-art visualizations, based on observations from the Gaia space observatory, show spectacular moments from the past and future of our solar system: wandering stars, comets, colorful clouds of gas and dust and, for the first time, the dramatic merger of our galaxy with a smaller satellite galaxy.The event was developed by the American Museum of Natural History with the support and cooperation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).Event in English: "Encounters in the Milky Way"Coffee-cake-cosmos comboThis event can be booked as part of the "Coffee-Cake-Cosmos-Combo" (Thu-Sun, 3-7 pm in the Zeiss-Großplanetarium).
