Beat the Cold at the Planetarium — Two Shows Available
🌞The Sun, Our Living Star
For over 4.5 billion years, the Sun has powered life on Earth. Its light has touched every human in history and driven our weather, winds, and the rhythms of time itself.
Though classified as a dwarf star, the Sun is a true giant—consuming 600 million tons of hydrogen each second and outweighing all the planets combined.
Discover the secrets of our nearest star in this immersive fulldome planetarium show, featuring stunning, never-before-seen views of the Sun’s dynamic surface—created by world-class planetarium producers. ☀️
Astronomy has shaped human understanding for thousands of years, woven into nearly every major civilization. But just 400 years ago, a single invention changed everything—the telescope.
Two Small Pieces of Glass is an immersive fulldome planetarium show that traces the remarkable story of the telescope, from its earliest, simple designs to the powerful instruments transforming astronomy today. Follow the journey that allowed humanity to peer farther into the universe than ever before—and witness how modern telescopes continue to unlock breathtaking discoveries.🌌
