The Planetarium shows

The award-winning Dynamic Earth explores the inner workings of Earth’s great life support system: the global climate. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans, and the biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, and fly into roiling volcanoes.

Show available in English. To use the service, install the free app MovieReading and use it inside the planetarium.

Our Scientific Staff comments on astronomical events, discoveries and images of space missions, in an exchange with audience.

For all ages Gravitational attraction influences the greatest structures of the Universe and is so powerful that it can even bend the path of light. It reminds us that there is more to the Universe than meets the eye. Physicists are hunting for a new and elusive subatomic particle right here on Earth to understand this mysterious matter…

For all ages High Energy Astrophysics tells us about a violent Universe, made of neutron stars, supernova explosions and super-massive black holes (SMBHs). A Universe invisible to the human eye, which we are now able to explore thanks to powerful, sophisticated space telescopes.

For all ages A bewildering journey through space and time, starting with the Big Bang. From the birth of the Universe to the first stars, to the Milky Way and the Solar System, all the spectacular Cosmos unfolds before our eyes: brightly colored nebulae, explosions of supernovas and neutron stars.

For all ages Ancient civilizations designed and built architectural complexes to follow and observe the sky and the motion of celestial objects. All over the world, remains have survived centuries and have come down to us, helping us understand legends and events otherwise lost in the mist of the past. This is one of those stories…

For children Part 2, second adventure: James the Penguin and Vladimir the White Bear return aboard the Polaris to discover the origin of shooting stars.

For all ages At first glance all stars around us may look alike, but if you look carefully you will see a range of colours and levels of brightness. Stars are formed of clouds of dust and gas and sometimes they are binary systems – that is are in association with another star – and may have a planet system. Each star has a story, a unique billion years long tale to tell.

For children, live commentary Get ready and see something unique, a show full of numbers, acrobatics, tightrope walking. For millions of years, the Sun and its planets, complete with satellites, asteroids and, surprisingly, a passing comet have been the real stars of the Solar System’s great circus.

For children, live commentary Mr. Rainbow (Signor Arcobaleno) lives in the Multicolored (Variopinto) Village, where everything changes with the season: colors, animals, sounds. Every month, the stars also change as does nature. The great show of the sky awaits you at the Planetarium, commented live by our Staff. How wonderful!
