1 Exploring the Cold Universe A Planetarium Show for the IYA 2009 Agnès ACKER (APLF) and Henri BOFFIN (ESO) CAP 2007 |

2 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array one of the largest ground-based astronomy projects of the next decade Atacama desert, Chajnantor plateau - altitude 5000 metres 66 high-tech antennas  working as an interferometer Observing in 0.3 to 9.6 mm range  sub-millimetre 12-m array: 50 antennas Compact array: 4 12-m and 12 7-m antennas Antennas can be moved: 150m to 18km  ‘zoom’ The ALMA Project CAP 2007 |

3 An international endeavour: East Asia (Japan & Taiwan), Europe (ESO), North America (USA & Canada), and Chile Timeline: Construction started in Nov First antennas in 2007 First science with small array: 2010 Science with full array: 2012 The ALMA Project CAP 2007 |

4 Operating at 5000 m altitude Highest scientific building Air is thin - only 50% of sea level oxygen Desert Area - extreme conditions 115-ton antennas will be moved regularly Superconducting receivers operate at -269 degrees Celsius A Technological Challenge CAP 2007 |

5 Planetarium show CAP 2007 | Association des Planétariums de Langue Française observatoire de Strasbourg, Université Louis Pasteur 11 rue de l’université F Strasbourg Tél Fax – Association of French Language Planetariums Born in 1984, officially created in members in 2007 (Planetariums workers, astronomers, vendors) Member of the International Planetarium Society

12 The Programme CAP 2007 | A Spectacle of quality - technically and scientifically In 7 languages Related to educational and outreach activities ALMA Interdisciplinary Teaching Project ALMA EPO WG A Spectacle that is interesting for families! (from 7 to 77 year old kids)

13 IYA 2009 CAP 2007 | years since Galileo From first look through a telescope to an armada of telescopes located in a unique location From discovering satellites of Jupiter to looking for (exo-)planets around other stars and life in the Universe. Atacama Desert geology, biology Earth! ALMA technology, astronomy Exoplanets science, philosophy

14 Schedule CAP 2007 |  October 2007 Collect all data (text, images, video)  1st December 2007Story-board  1st April 2008Realisation of the masters (visual, sound) Validation by the pilot-Planetariums (Montpellier, Brussels-Epinal, Augsburg) Realisation of other languages versions  September 2008Duplication (APLF), diffusion, integration  October 2008Opening for schools  2009 JanuaryInauguration Shown in all participating planetaria
