Presentation in English and Afrikaans. Live star gazing
About this event
Worlds Beyond Earth features immersive visualizations, groundbreaking space missions, and breathtaking depictions of our solar system. In stunningly detailed scenes drawn from real data—including unparalleled visualizations of the alien landscape of Mars and a simulation of the evolution of Saturn’s rings—Worlds Beyond Earth takes viewers on a remarkable journey around our solar neighborhood to explore whether there really is no place like home.
Feb. 28: Planetary alignment. Six planets — Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — will trace an arc across the night sky, though some (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn) will be much more easily visible than others (Uranus, Neptune). This is the date when the planets will appear most aligned, but the “parade” will be visible for some time before and after, as well.
Stargazing weather permitted.
Venue
Naval Hill, Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa
