Experience Days 2024 at ZEISS The ZEISS planetarium division presents the latest version of UNIVIEW technology as part of the 100th anniversary of planetariums The ZEISS Planetarium division is hosting the Experience Days 2024 from July 17 to 19, 2024. More than 30 international planetarium enthusiasts and customers will meet at ZEISS in Jena over three days to learn about the new products and discover specific application examples. “With the Experience Days 2024, we want to provide exciting insights into the world of ZEISS planetariums and present our latest applications in our modern Demo Dome, especially in the context of the 100th anniversary of planetariums,” says Martin Kraus, Head of Planetariums at ZEISS. In various workshops, participants can experience the planetarium software ZEISS UNIVIEW Software Suite. According to Kraus, the current generation of the UNIVIEW Software Suite makes it possible to control all aspects of the planetarium intuitively and easily - from the projection system and external devices such as the dome lighting to the creation of presentations and their presentation. Planetarium shows can be created and then shown automatically. The display options range from a detailed model of the International Space Station ISS, the planet Earth, the solar system and the Milky Way to cosmic background radiation. #zeissplanetariums #zeissuniview #experiencedays

We invite you to visit us at our booth in the exhibitor hall of the arena. We have prepared something very special for this year's event (picture).

Did you know that the famous Griffith Observatory #Planetarium in Los Angeles uses ZEISS technology? 🌠 When it opened on Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park in 1935, it was equipped with the historic 12-inch refracting telescope – the ZEISS MARK II star projector. Since then, it has allowed visitors to explore the beauty of the stars. 🌙🔭 This telescope is perfect for night-time public viewing, showing the Moon, planets and the brightest objects in our galaxy. Join us in celebrating 100 years of ZEISS Planetariums and discover its rich history. Find out more about the centenary here: https://zeiss.ly/100

On June 20, 1964, the Vienna Planetarium of the "Wiener Volkshochschulen" was opened at its present location at the Vienna Prater. On this occasion, representatives of public life as well as friends, sponsors and employees of the planetarium came together to celebrate its 60th anniversary. Representatives from ZEISS Planetariums also attended the event to offer their warmest congratulations. We wish all the best for a successful future. Fun facts for insiders: The history of the ZEISS and Planetarium in Vienna dates back to 1927. Originally located in front of the "Messepalast", the planetarium was a sensation in its early years. The institution later moved to Praterstern, where it was destroyed in 1945. The new building was constructed between 1962 and 1964.

Imani, Aki, and John are three friends from an alien solar system. While on a space exploration mission, something routine for their tribe, they distractedly neglect their onboard “chores,” leading their ship to crash on an unknown planet – Earth. The accident damages the life-support system that sustains the cherished forest they keep onboard, which gives them their vital Yumi-Plumi fruits. However, forests in their society are usually taken care of by robots. With no knowledge of plant care or any means of contacting their elders, they are fortunate to be able to turn to the planetarium audience for help. All hope now rests on the Earth children, who help the Stellars discover what plants need to survive and to rescue their Yumi Plumi forest. There is a race against time – will the children be able to figure out the successive elements needed to nourish the plants? #zeissshowdistribution #creativeplanet #thestellars #fulldome #premiere #newshow
