About this event

For thousands of years, mankind thought  that the Earth was  the centre of the Universe. Thanks to our curiosity, imagination and urge to explore, we now know that planets like our Earth are nothing special in the cosmos. The Sun  is  just  one  ordinary  star  among  hundreds  of  billions  in  our  galaxy,  the  Milky  Way.  With  the  world’s  most powerful  telescopes,  we  are  able  to  explore  more  and  more  of  the  Universe.  What  we  have  found  so  far  has surpassed even the wildest expectations of scientist as well as authors of science fic on. Most stars have planets. A huge diversity of different worlds is out there, just waiting to be discovered.
