Learn about the storybehind this amazing planetarium
Nearly 250 years ago in 1774, scientists predicted that some planets and the Moon would appear in the same part of the sky on a night in May. A Dutch preacher claimed that the rare event would lead to the destruction of the Earth. Naturally, this end-of-the-world prediction caused panic among people. Luckily, a 30-year-old wool comber living in the town of Franeker was there to put everyone at ease.

The two sides engaged in peace talks.
