Mission UMBRA

Relive the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, from a unique vantage point 34 km up in the stratosphere. A 360° immersive experience that will transport you to the gates of space to give you an astronaut’s view of this unforgettable celestial event.

On April 8, 2024, a small team of Canadian artists, scientists and videographers launched a module called “Dorothy” equipped with several 360° cameras into the stratosphere and succeeded in capturing images of the Moon’s shadow above the Earth.

The result is a dreamlike journey to the gates of space, combining popular science, philosophy and poetry for the whole family.

Breathtaking images of our planet seen from the sky, and the shadow that envelops us in a collective moment of wonder and introspection; a brief pause in our lives, inviting us to meditate on our place in the universe and our relationship with our fragile habitat, planet Earth.
