Mit wow² Space laden wir Sie ein zu einer Reise ins All: von Lavahöhlen auf dem Mond bis hinaus in ferne Galaxien, wo Sterne geboren werden und vergehen. Und wieder zurück – zu unserem blauen Planeten. Dorthin, wo wir dank Satelliten Waldbrände früh erkennen, Bewegungen im Eis der Alpen messen und den Weg ins nächste Café finden.

Die Welt blickt wieder zum Mond. Und wir an der @ethz.ch machen diesen Aufbruch erlebbar. Am 30. Mai 2026 wird sie zur Startrampe. Mit wow² Space – ins All und zurück laden wir Sie ein, das Universum zu entdecken – und die Erde mit neuen Augen zu sehen. Mehr Infos: ethz.ch/de/news-und-...
