Digital Planetarium: Life - A Cosmic Story
Thursday, 23. February

How did life originate on Earth? To answer this basic question the
show begins in a redwood forest, with the sounds of wind and life.
One redwood looms large, until we approach
its branches and enter one of its leaves, adjusting our perspective to microscopic scales inside a cell. We see a pared-down
version of its inner workings, learning about the process of photosynthesis and the role of DNA. This scene sets the stage
for the story of life.
We then leap backward billions of years to the origin of elements themselves. The early Universe contained mostly dark matter, which drew hydrogen and helium together to form the first stars. The carbon and heavier elements required by living organisms came from generations of stars.
