Cosmic Time Travel at PLANET KA: From the Big Bang to Humans

At PLANET KA in Karlsruhe, a fascinating journey through space and time opens on September 12, 2026. The presentation takes the audience on a journey from the beginnings of the universe to the emergence of life on Earth – scientifically grounded, visually impressive, and ideal for families, teenagers, and adults aged 10 and above.

When time becomes an experience

The event transforms astronomical dimensions into a tangible event experience. Stars, galaxies, supernovae, and comet impacts appear not as dry theory but as impressive images in the dome hall. The cosmic history is condensed into a year so that the enormous time spans suddenly become comprehensible, and the audience's mood shifts between wonder and reflection.

Science that touches the heart

The production comes from a consortium of German planetariums, including participation from the Mannheim Planetarium and led by the LWL Planetarium Münster. This origin shapes the quality: clear communication, professional organization, and a strong narrative approach to astronomy, evolution, and Earth history. The result is a program that connects education and emotion while also engaging younger visitors.

What visitors can expect

The show lasts about 60 minutes and is aimed at adults as well as children aged 10 and older. Admission starts about 30 minutes before the show begins. Punctuality is important, as late entry is not possible, and unused tickets become invalid without compensation. Those who arrive on time will experience a calm introduction and can engage with the dome image of the planetarium before the time travel begins.

PLANET KA as a strong venue

PLANET KA is located at Alten Schlachthof 4 in Karlsruhe and is largely accessible. A ramp leads directly into the dome hall, and there are reservable parking spaces available for mobility-impaired guests upon prior registration. The venue strongly recommends public transportation or bicycles for arrival; the nearest stops are only a few minutes' walk away. This makes event planning uncomplicated and clearly structured.

Conclusion: An evening for the mind, heart, and gaze into the cosmos

Time Travel – From the Big Bang to Humans combines illustrative science with impressive planetarium technology and a strong narrative about our origins. Anyone who wants to experience the cosmos as a whole should secure this date in Karlsruhe and enjoy the show live at PLANET KA.
