The impulse to strike out into the unknown, to see what’s over the horizon… is as old as humanity. Today, a whole new horizon beckons. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to 9 billion Sun-like stars with planets similar to Earth. Astronomers are racing to find habitable worlds, including any that might exist in the neighborhood of our Sun. But if we find one, how will we ever get there? How long will it take? What rocket designs might one day conquer the voids of space? Faster Than Light: the dream of interstellar flight will dazzle audiences with virtual rides aboard spacecraft of the future.
To start the presentation, a live description is given of the current night sky.
The show is narrated by award-winning actor Sean Bean and won the Director’s Award at the 2017 Fulldome Festival Brno at the Brno Observatory in the Czech Republic.
