About this plan
The Bogotá Planetarium opens its doors to an immersive science show that recreates one of the greatest moments in space exploration. 'Our First Orbit' is a sensory experience that takes the audience alongside Yuri Gagarin on his historic mission of April 12, 1961, when a human being orbited Earth for the first time.
The story pairs industrial music with an introspective view to convey the human, political, and scientific weight of that milestone. It invites you to see the planet from the outside and grasp why that flight changed the way we look at the cosmos forever.
The recommended age is 10 and up, so it works well as a family plan or a night out with friends who love astronomy.
