Tales of the Sky II
Planetarium Show
Duration: 30´
 With the help of stars and constellations, the show "Tales of the Sky 2" visualises in a spectacular way the stories contained in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" (Transformations), regarding the "Four Ages of Man". Because even in ancient times, the observers of the starry night grouped together the brighter stars into easily recognisable patterns in order to make the night sky seem more familiar. On the clearest of nights the old stories connecting humans to the stars become alive and each constellation has its own story to tell.

Looking back over the centuries since the birth of Christ in the humble manger in Bethlehem, one cannot help but feel an immense admiration for the deep and defining effect that his birth had on the world.

Guided by the light of the "star from the East," they crossed deserts and mountains to worship this "unknown child." But what was that light that led them away from their homeland? What kind of star was it that guided them to the place where the Child of Bethlehem lay swaddled? What was that mysterious and wondrous star whose radiant light has illuminated and inspired humanity for more than 2000 years?
