Curatorial context

The planetarium show 'Niewidzialny Wszechświat' (Invisible Universe) takes audiences on a journey through our evolving understanding of the cosmos. Once thought to be confined to our Milky Way galaxy, the universe is now known to harbor billions of star systems. This show addresses the profound mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, components that make up 95% of the universe yet remain invisible to us. Viewers will learn about the methods astronomers employ to seek answers to the universe's most fundamental questions and witness detailed visualizations of the Milky Way, informed by the latest astronomical data. The show also revisits the historical significance of observatories like Mount Wilson, where Edwin Hubble's discovery of the universe's expansion laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory. With increasingly sophisticated technology, astronomers are gaining the capacity to comprehend these observed phenomena, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge about the universe's formation and its 13.8 billion-year history. The show is recommended for individuals aged 15 and above and is presented with a live introduction by Planetarium presenters.
