Infinity des Lumières Presents Destination Cosmos: The Ultimate Challenge

The region’s largest immersive digital art centre, presents this exclusive and original digital exhibition in partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre [MBRSC], and the French National Centre for Space Studies [CNES], paying homage to the UAE’s giant leap into space.

 

An immersive journey into the infinity of the universe, focusing on man’s fascination with exploring the cosmos. 

Created by Culturespaces and CNES to commemorate the 60th anniversary of CNES, the exhibition, composed of 13 sequences and a prologue, uses striking images from CNES and NASA to highlight the profound beauty of the Earth and the mysteries of the cosmos from a fascinating perspective, focusing on the space challenges of yesterday and tomorrow, as well as the incredible scientific and technical achievements of ingenious men and women.

In the prologue, the exhibition traces humanity’s desire to understand and explore the universe, from the first observations of stars many centuries ago, to the Apollo 11 moon landing. The space adventure skyrockets from the CNES tracking station, in the heart of the Guyanese rainforest, to the far reaches of the universe, showing first the blue planet from space and the complexity of the International Space Station. The journey roams across the solar system, through the canyons of Mars, into the heart of Jupiter, over the rings of Saturn, and after a flight over Uranus and Neptune, continues beyond the borders of the solar system, to discover the wonders of the universe, with its plethora of stars, planets, nebulae, and supernovae. The adventure concludes with a fascinating perspective on the infinity of the universe, as it shows the Milky Way in a cluster of galaxies, and brings the focus back to space scientists.

The immersive journey is set to an eclectic music soundtrack, which includes works by Wagner, Mozart and Dvorak, as well as the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Moon Hee Joon, and David Chappell. 

Infinity des Lumières’ choice to showcase DESTINATION COSMOS is inspired by the UAE’s considerable space achievements, which includes sending the first Emirati astronaut into space in 2019, and the amazing success of the UAE-built Hope Mars probe, which triumphantly went into orbit around the Red Planet in February 2021. As part of its impressive roadmap to the stars, the UAE doubled the size of its astronaut corps last year, with a selection of two new astronauts, including the first woman astronaut, and is working on sending a UAE lunar rover to the moon, as well as  launching an Analog mission to prepare humans for the long jump through the void to Mars.
