Encounters in the Milky Way

About This Event

Discover the chance encounters that have shaped our place in the universe. Narrated by Pedro Pascal, “Encounters in the Milky Way” presents spectacular moments from the past and future of our solar system — including the orbits of stars, comets, interstellar debris and dazzling clouds of gas and dust. For the first time ever, discover the dramatic, ongoing merger between our galaxy and a smaller satellite galaxy, visualized in stunning detail. Created by a team of space scientists, artists and visualization experts, “Encounters in the Milky Way” is based on real data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission — one of the coolest space projects ever!
