Discover the secrets of galaxies and the Big Bang, where an infinite world of cosmic wonders unfolds around you

The Studio's 180-degree guided projection allows you to enter a 3D space where you can fly among the stars, discover planets, and peer into the depths of galaxies— all based on real-time scientific data and supplemented with interactive visualizations. During the screening, the celestial bodies of the Solar System, the mysterious world of pulsars, and the structure of galaxies will be revealed in a level of detail that has rarely been seen before.

In this presentation, we will leave the Solar System and fly through the spiral arms of the Milky Way in a virtual spaceship, all the way to the central black hole: to Sagittarius A*, where the "center" is not a point, but an unreachable gravitational boundary. Walking among the galaxies, you will experience that distance here is like time travel: what you see is ancient light that is only now reaching us. The cosmic scene unfolds: spirals, elliptical giants, and Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy system, an "imprint" of the universe. .

Then we go even further back in time until we reach the edge of the visible universe: the cosmic background radiation, the cooling echo of the Big Bang. From here, we turn back to the "new worlds" : TRAPPIST-1e, one of the most promising candidates in the habitable zone, and the closest exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, where the star's activity immediately raises tough questions about the atmosphere and the chances of life. This program is both a spectacle and a thought experiment: how small the Earth is, and how far human curiosity can reach.

Behind the scenes, state-of-the-art technology is at work: every projection is based on scientifically verified data, including data from the James Webb Space Telescope, the Voyager probes, and the latest astronomical research. During the Xbox controller-manged presentation, you can always see the planets in their current positions—where it is nighttime, the sky is dark in the image, and you can even observe the Aurora Borealis in real time in the northern hemisphere of the Earth. Part of the experience is that you can "visit" the International Space Station, following its trajectory and observing how it orbits our planet.

The 3D glasses and spatial sound provide such a realistic experience that you feel as if you are actually floating in space, while discovering the structure and infinite dynamics of the universe.

Each presentation is led by an information trainer who helps you discover the infinite faces of the world with exciting stories and interesting facts. This experience is both inspiring and thought-provoking: it helps us get closer to the vast world of which we are a small part.

The Studio's films deal with educational topics that are less or enjoyable for younger children, and in some cases may even be frightening, so viewing is recommended for ages 6 and up.
