This immersive experience invites us to travel through the solar system with some of the space probes that have photographed its planets and many of its satellites.
For millennia, the planets were nothing more than tiny dots of light to us. With the invention of the telescope, Jupiter’s bands and Saturn’s rings could be observed, and little by little, satellites of these planets were discovered. But any attempt to represent what a landscape of other worlds would look like belonged, with varying degrees of success, to the realm of science fiction.
Over sixty years of space exploration, all the planets in the solar system and most of their satellites have been photographed. Apart from their scientific value, these images show us landscapes never before imagined. Today, we have been able to see in detail the giant volcanoes of Mars, the rings of Saturn, the surface of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the impressive frozen deserts of Europa, the methane lakes of Titan, the vertiginous cliffs of Miranda and the geysers of Enceladus, among many other incredible ‘postcards’ offered by our solar system.
With the purchase of a ticket to any of the sessions between 4 and 10 October, CaixaForum will give you another one for free!
