VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
While many planetariums concentrate on the night sky and the path of the stars, we’ve taken it light years further.
Travel to the glimmering edges of the universe from the comfort of your local venue. Take off in style to see the current STARLINK satellites, the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, planets and moons of our solar system, and the intricate landscapes of Earth as seen from space. Land on Mars, Venus and the Moon, visit far-away alien solar systems and discover what space explorers’ jobs are waiting for you.
