Infinite expanses

Infinite expanses

Live

Experience the beginning of our universe 13.7 billion years ago and watch how structures, stars and galaxies were formed. The universe is very dynamic: stars live and die, galaxies are born, collide with others and merge - a constant process of growth and decay. From these infinite expanses we fly back to the Milky Way, into our solar system and to our unique planet Earth - and now see the starry sky with different eyes.
