A glimpse of the Earth that leaves Karlsruhe in awe
With Black Marble – The Earth at Night, PLANET KA opens an impressive window to our planet on September 17, 2026. The fulldome show combines astronomical education, powerful images, and a conscious theme: light pollution, nocturnal landscapes, and the traces of human civilization from space.
When cities shine and continents tell stories
The show takes the audience on a visual journey over the Earth at night. Glowing cities, illuminated fields, and coastlines reveal how closely geography, history, and ways of life are intertwined. Particularly in the planetarium, this perspective unfolds a special event atmosphere: calm, compelling, and at the same time, fascinatingly close to the great questions of our time.
A program with conviction and longing for dark skies
The performance is also part of EARTH NIGHT on September 11 and emphasizes how valuable a natural night sky is. The focus is not only on images but also on a clear message: the protection of the night is part of our cultural and ecological responsibility. This makes the event experience particularly special for families, school classes, and anyone who wants to experience science with feeling.
Live start with the starry sky over Karlsruhe
At the beginning, the team presents the current starry sky over Karlsruhe live. This gives the show a local context and connects the view into space directly with the place of the event. The event is recommended for ages 10 and up and lasts about 60 minutes. Doors open about 30 minutes before the start; there is no late admission.
Good to know for visiting the planetarium
PLANET KA operates as a nonprofit organization with limited seating, so online booking in advance is advisable. The venue is largely accessible; a barrier-free access and an accessible restroom are available for people with special needs. The location at the Old Slaughterhouse in Karlsruhe is clearly marked and easily reachable.
Conclusion: Black Marble is more than a planetarium show. The audience experiences a strong mix of science, visual power, and reflection on our planet. Anyone wanting to see the Earth at night from a completely new perspective should not miss this opportunity live at PLANET KA.
