Directing the Universe

Young filmmaker Theofanis Matsopoulos addresses the audience inside the planetarium at the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre, which opened its doors to the public on Saturday 28 April 2018. Mr Matsopoulos directed 'From Earth to the Universe', the world’s first free downloadable fulldome planetarium movie. 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.
