Horizons has taken over 250,000 people across three continents on a dazzling journey; a story of how we came to be and what we can become. Using state-of-the-art screen technology, venues across the world from New Zealand to the Arctic Circle have been filled with images of far-away galaxies, alien worlds, supermassive black holes, and the latest theories of the origin of the Universe. What is the nature of space and time? How did life begin, how rare might it be and what is the significance of life in the Cosmos? What does it mean to live a small, finite life in a vast, eternal Universe? Having traveled the world, it’s now time to bring Horizons back home to the UK for a final journey around our magnificent and baffling Universe. Horizons is a celebration of our civilization, our music, art, philosophy, and science; an optimistic vision of our future if we continue to explore Nature with humility and value ourselves and our fellow human beings.
