25 November 2010:  Hamburg Planetarium is adding a new event to its programme: ‘Planet Earth – Green Alert: The Ice Age and Climate Change’. It takes visitors on a journey of discovery around the earth. Views from space show not only the colourfulness of our world, but also its fragility – only the thin, blue layer of the atmosphere separates man and nature from the hostile conditions of outer space.

How does the interplay of air, water and sun work to sustain life? The Planetarium explores these and other questions on a spectacular journey through space and time using stateof-the-art 3D simulations and in 360° full dome projection.
