Our Solar System
Planets
Looking up at the cloudless night sky is something special. It is a spectacle that we are offered free of charge every clear night.
Whether it is the Moon, or the bright planets, or the even more distant stars, or the Milky Way, which crosses the sky like a ribbon – all of them have always interested and fascinated people.
In former times, people believed that everything that we see on the sky revolves around the Earth, that we actually live in the centre of the universe. Today we know that our Earth is only one of several planets that revolve around the Sun, and that even the solar system with all its planets is located at the very edge of our galaxy – the large stellar system called Milky Way. And even this giant galaxy is only one among many other galaxies in the universe.
So we fly through space on our globe Earth like on a grain of dust – but actually, how have we got there in the first place?

Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
