Eolomea is a 1972 science fiction drama film directed by Herrmann Zschoche, based on the book of the same name by Angel Wagenstein.
[1] Authorities responsible for Earth’s spaceflight safety grow increasingly concerned over unexplained incidents at the "Margo" space base, where several ships and their crews have mysteriously disappeared over three days.
She arranges a private meeting and learns about an unusual phenomenon observed in the late 19th century by British astronomers: a mysterious light in the Cygnus constellation that appears every 24 years.
Soviet astronomers, after the first space flights, hypothesized that the light could be an artificial signal, potentially a powerful laser probing the solar system for signs of life.
Eager to reach Eolomea, Professor Tal proposes a mission, but the council deems it unfeasible given the current limitations of rocket speed.
