VOYAGE IN THE UNIVERSE


The adventure begun by Galileo


Inside the medieval Ragione Palace, a fascinating "voyage in the universe takes place; it is carried out thanks to the effort of the space agencies all over the world.
A walk in the sky among planets, galaxies, comets and supernovae.
A flight in space and time to discover the sidereal depths, and the most exotic celestial phenomena: from Galileo's observations of the sky to the missions of the space probes.
You will see the Galilean telescopes and manuscripts, the Galileo National Telescope, the Galileo probe, the European Ariane, the Russian Rover, which will be sent to Mars, and a lot more...
You will discover the Univers using computers, videos, Internet, and teleconferences with the world's major space experts.
You will look at the Universe in a way you have never done before, you will be projected in the cosmos, and you will be able to live the "adventure begun by Galileo".
