S.t.e.m. in a second: activities at the Planetarium

The II Municipality of Rome organizes new, interesting activities at the Planetarium, halfway between knowledge and science-themed adventure games for children and teenagers.

Participants in the activities can attend the following scheduled shows:

On December the 9th there is the "Return to the stars" (11-13 years): the large digital dome opens to host stories of the universe made up of scientific investigations and extraordinary discoveries. In the vast celestial vault of the dome, the participants' gaze can freely range far away, accompanied by the live narration of the astronomers, who lead them on a far-reaching cosmic journey.

On December the 16th: "Life as a star with Doctor Stellarium" is scheduled (6-10 years). Accompanied by Gabriele Catanzaro in the role of the bizarre Doctor Stellarium, which leads to the discovery of the entire firmament, measuring dimensions and distances between the stars, up to recognizing the last phases of the life of the stars, from planetary nebulae to supernova explosions, describing also an immense black hole.

Finally, “Interstellars: the journey of the Voyager probes” (14-18 years) is scheduled for December 30th. Here we tell the story of the Voyager probes, which left Earth way back in 1977, showed us a Solar System different from the one we knew, giving humanity a new perspective on our position in the cosmos. Today these probes have crossed the boundaries of the Solar System, continuing their interstellar journeys.
