“Distant Worlds — Alien Life?” is a beautiful planetarium film exploring one of the most enduring questions of humankind — are we alone?

For millennia our ancestors watched the stars, questioning the origin and nature of what they saw. Still today we ask these questions, knowing that the Universe is a vast place filled with billions and billions of stars and planets — but yet, Earth is the only planet we know for sure to be inhabited.

“Distant Worlds – Alien Life?”, originally “Ferne Welten – fremdes Leben?”, is a joint production by the planetariums in Münster, Bochum, Kiel, Mannheim, Osnabrück und Wolfsburg, produced at LWL-Planetarium Münster.

Runtime 52 minutes. Due to the duration of this show it will not be followed by a presenter talk or Q&A.

Tickets are £8.00 for an adult and £6.40 for a child (4-15). Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult.

Suitable for: Ages 4 and over. Aimed at Teens/Adults. Not suitable for children aged 3 and under.

Note: A planetarium ticket does not include the opportunity to visit our observatory building or look through our telescope.

For observatory visits, please look at one of our open evenings or open days.
