Billions of sun - a journey through the galaxy

Have you ever wondered how the distance of stars is measured? Not only the size of the universe, but also the diversity in our home galaxy is breathtaking. Bright stars are either close or huge, some burning hot and blue, others just glowing reddish.

A gigantic zoo of objects meets the traveler when he thinks his way out into space: nebulous clouds of gas and dust, condensing and breathing life into new stars. Magnificent star clusters. Dark clouds. Fountains of hot gas and interstellar flakes of stardust.

Join us in the world of stars with phenomenal images. This production by the European Space Agency (ESA) tells the story of how mankind is deciphering the distance to the stars and thus uncovering the secrets of the universe in innovative 3D audio.
