Red sky at night . . .

A view from inside the planetarium at the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre, which opened its doors to the public on Saturday 28 April 2018, gives to visitors a fulldome experience of the stellar nursery as captured by VLT. The Supernova building is open five days a week and features planetarium screenings, tours and a permanent exhibition in both German and English. The 25-degree tilted planetarium dome does not just give the audience the sensation of watching the Universe, but of being immersed in it. The Universe is fill of light in wavelengths our eyes cannot detect, but that ESO's telescopes can. When transformed into colour images, these data give us a glimpse into a mysterious hidden side of the Universe.
