To infinity and beyond…journey to the Space! April 14 and 15 at Città della Scienza

Space, astronomy have always been fields dominated by men, yet there are few astronauts women who have traveled in space and made their skills available! The most famous is Samantha Cristoforetti, the only Italian woman to have spent the longest stay in orbit in a single mission. In her honor, celebrating women in space, do not miss the workshop of building a “supergalactic rocket” in “AstroSamantha Cristoforetti: towards infinity and beyond …“. Are you a big fan of astronomy but unfortunately live in the city, where watching the sky is practically impossible, due to smog, light pollution or simply too many days of bad weather? No fear! Participating in the laboratory “Sky on the roof” you will have the opportunity to build a small “projector of constellations” and transform your room roof into a beautiful starry sky!

The starry sky has always represented for Man, since origins, a fascinating spectacle. Did you know that the stars are not randomly scattered in the Universe but grouped in colossal sets, clusters, or families called galaxies? With “Stardust” discover how many and which are the different types of galaxies, recognize the shapes and complete your spatial Lapbook! The exhibition dedicated to the sea can be visited again! Discover which new fish, molluscs and crustaceans live in our tanks following the guided tour “Marine Ecosystems“. During the visit, you will have the opportunity to caress some live marine organisms in our Touch pool. What an emotion! For the little ones, “Create marine animals“, a laboratory where you can color fish shapes, inventing new species, and then, as for “magic”, make them appear and swim in a large virtual aquarium.

“Insetti & CO”, the new exhibition space dedicated to the spectacular world of insects and much more. For every man on Earth there are over 150 million insects. “The six-legged giants” have conquered almost all the habitats of our planet … it’s time to start getting to know them better. Discover all the secrets that have made them so successful in a route divided into six thematic islands, one more engaging than the other! In addition to guided tours to Corporea, the first interactive human body museum in Italy, just for this weekend, the 3D “Robot Explorers” returns to great demand to travel together with probes, landers and orbiters within our solar system.
