About the Project
Unseen Earth (2023-1-CZ01-KA220-ADU-000160172) is a collaborative international Erasmus+ project focused on Earth Observation and its vital role in understanding and combating climate change. The project aims to raise public awareness about environmental sustainability using modern digital tools.
At its core is the belief that informal learning spaces like planetariums can inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning among adults and intergenerational audiences alike.
The project’s main output is a multilingual fulldome show for digital planetaria, designed to immerse viewers in the science and impact of Earth Observation.
What It Brings To Your Dome
Using real satellite data and cutting-edge visuals, the 27-minute educational program explores how satellite monitoring contributes to our understanding of the environment, supports disaster response, and informs sustainable development.
By making the show freely available across Europe and beyond, the project ensures wide accessibility, fostering environmental literacy and digital skills in diverse communities.
Who Is Behind The Project?
Planetarium – Silesian
Science Park (PL)
The Silesian Planetarium was established in 1955 as the first facility of its kind in Poland. After a recent renovation, it is now one of the most modern institutions of its type in the world, presenting topics related to three fields of science: astronomy, meteorology and seismology.
Exhibition stations, unlike those found in similar venues, not only showcase various physical phenomena but also allow visitors to experience them firsthand. In its Science Park, you can experience a simulated earthquake, see and hear real lightning, witness the formation of clouds and precipitation, and even embark on a space journey in one of five ultra-modern space flight simulators. The main projection hall has been equipped with one of the most advanced sky visualization systems in the world. Its analog projector can display over 100 million stars on a 23-meter spherical screen.

Regional Observatory and Planetarium of Maximilian Hell in Žiar nad Hronom (SK)
The primary goal of our activity is a formation of scientific knowledge, development of positive approach to nature and increasing general education of public, especially that of children and adolescents. The spectrum of offered programs consists of various adjusted programs for school excursions and the public.
Astronomical tours in Planetarium involve demonstration of astronomical phenomenon on artificial sky in planetarium, popular-scientific and professional lectures, movie projections or observing day and night skies through telescope. Lectors also do consulting and publishing activities. We organise astronomy lessons for children and amateur astronomers.
