GEOlino Extra / GEOlino extra 94/2022 - Unsichbare Welten

Invisible Worlds: Every second, our eyes take in more than 100 million pieces of information and distinguish 600,000 shades of color. Yet, much remains invisible to us—whether it's too small, too far away, or hidden. In Geolino Extra, we want to explore all this invisibility with you: Join us in the realm of imagination. Discover how blind people navigate their daily lives or how researchers aim to make objects disappear with cloaking devices. And build your own microscope—our workshop will show you how. One thing is for sure: afterward, you will see the world with different eyes!

Tiny details like the compound eyes of a fly can only be recognized when we magnify them with a microscope. We explain how they work. Super Sense: The hammerhead shark has a special organ that allows it to perceive electrical impulses—and thus the heartbeat of its prey. Amazing! The Ehrlich Brothers give us a behind-the-scenes look at their magical show. The atmosphere envelops and protects the Earth. How? Researchers want to find out using laser beams.
