Dark Universe

Dark Universe

A cosmic voyage of discovery into the unknown

Includes live hosting in German

Discover what we know about the cosmos and what secrets we still have to unravel! We embark on a journey into the depths of the universe and learn which discoveries have led us to the great cosmic mysteries in the last 100 years. In the process, we take a look at the web of dark matter that holds the galaxies together, listen to the »echo« of the Big Bang and take a look at the exciting future of space exploration.
