🚀 LWL-Planetarium in Münster launches a new view into space.

With Digistar as its centerpiece, stars shine brighter, galaxies appear more three-dimensional, and distant worlds are more detailed.

As one of the region’s most important educational venues, LWL-Planetarium Münster is inspiring the next generation of explorers through immersive experiences. 🌌

In this episode of the FDC series, we’re diving into one of Abraham Lincoln’s most fascinating courtroom moments — where the position of the Moon in the sky helped prove a client’s innocence. This begs the question: was “Honest Abe” really as honest as history claims? 👀

We’ll also break down the perennial myth that Mars will appear as big as the Moon and unpack the real science behind it. If time allows, we’ll explore Kepler’s 2nd Law and the Milky Way.

Join us for a webinar that blends history, astronomy, and a few surprises along the way. 🚀

Lighting enhancements in Digistar now bring greater realism to Google 3D Tiles - especially during sunrise and sunset. 🌅

Photorealistic Tiles make it easier to build lifelike environments with dynamic, real-world lighting, while natural shifts throughout the day add depth and contrast to every scene. This Digistar view captures sunset at Arches National Park, with Venus and a faint Jupiter near the crescent Moon — showing how Digistar can seamlessly place audiences inside extraordinary world wonders under the dome. ✨
