This spring, we invite you to four selected Thursday evenings where popular science is combined with fascinating planetarium shows in Wisdome Umeå. Curiosum Space is aimed at a more adult audience and offers space experiences that open new perspectives on the universe and our place within it.
Thursday, 26 March – About the Big Bang, the Solar System, and the Movements of Celestial Bodies
Curiosum is pleased to welcome Patrik Norqvist, physicist at Umeå University, who will present his popular lecture on the Big Bang. Hear the TV expert explain how everything began, how big the universe is, and much more. During the planetarium show, we build on parts of his lecture and visually demonstrate what the solar system looks like, how celestial bodies move, and then venture out into the universe to witness the very first light up close.
If the weather is clear, we will observe Jupiter and the Moon through telescopes after nightfall.

Patrik Norqvist is well-known from television and works at the Department of Physics at Umeå University. His lectures are famous for their extra sparkle, astonishing clarity, and his ability to explain complex questions in physics and astronomy in a pedagogical and engaging way.
A planetarium show is an immersive visual experience where space is projected all around you in our dome-shaped theatre, Wisdome Umeå. Here, you can journey into the universe through scientifically based visualisations and explore everything from planets and moons to stars, nebulae and exoplanets. Through large-scale projection and storytelling, the experience offers new perspectives on space and our place within it.
