Independent astronomy lectures throughout the cruise: planets, stars, the Milky Way and exoplanets, galaxies, the history of the universe and life on Earth. All these virtual journeys among the stars are made possible by superb photos taken by telescopes or space probes and small, spectacular videos (flybys of Mars, Pluto, etc.).
The commentary is lively and simple. The beauty of the images is enough to captivate the audience.
For example, for the planets :
- sulphuric acid rain on Venus,
- polar caps on Mars,
- large red spot on Jupiter,
- active volcanoes on Io,
- rings of rocks and ice around Saturn...
"Does life exist elsewhere? Are we trying to communicate with extraterrestrials? Is the universe finite or infinite? What do you think of astrology?"
The subject is fascinating, and there's never a shortage of questions!
