Look out of the window of the International Space Station, receive the signal of an American satellite, try on an astronaut suit, make your own weather forecast and launch a rocket into space. Thanks to the See the Earth exhibition at the Heavens of Copernicus Planetarium, you can look at our planet through the eyes of astronauts and learn about the equipment that works for us in orbit.

What does the Earth look like, as seen from space? Astronaut Jean-François Clervoy said: "This view evokes tears of emotion. The planet is very impressive, it is beautiful! Looking at it also makes one realise how fragile our existence on Earth is". There is no substitute for this sensation and the emotion of being in space. However, looking from a distance allows one to see more and makes it easier to take responsibility for the Earth and its inhabitants.

See Earth features 20 exhibits, located on three floors of the planetarium. The whole is divided into 2 parts.

We begin the tour on Earth, managing the launch of a rocket. Then, at the flight control station, we get to experience what a complex undertaking a space mission is, requiring exceptional precision, competence and use of technology. After a successful flight, we admire the breathtaking views captured by the telescopes working in orbit. We learn to forecast the weather and read satellite data. We learn about satellites and satellite receivers (you can make one yourself at home!).
