Presenter
Marta De Simone
How does stardust come to life? We invite you to explore this question by joining Marta De Simone of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on an astrochemical journey through the universe.
Life on our planet is based on molecules containing carbon atoms. These atoms are so important to life that they have their own field of research: organic chemistry. At the same time, the Earth is mainly composed of water, rocks, and metals - organic molecules, that can also be found in the vastness of space. Join us on a journey through space and time to unravel the mysteries of astrochemistry and its profound impact on the origin of life on Earth.
This presentation is in English.
The Kosmisches Kino takes visitors to the planetarium into the breathtaking depths of space. Researchers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the ORIGINS Cluster of Excellence will accompany you on your journey through the cosmos with selected excerpts from planetarium films and an accompanying lecture.
