The BRAND NEW, 30' digital planetarium facility is NOW OPEN!
Planetarium Program:
The Oasis In Space, program allows participants to travel through our universe, galaxy and solar system in search of liquid water - a key
ingredient for life on Earth. The program starts by exploring Earth, with its vast oceans that make life possible. During the program,
participants fly by other planets and moons of our solar system, accompanied by full descriptions of their characteristics, such as
atmosphere, temperature, and composition. Spectacular pictures invite participants to draw their own conclusions about the other orbiting
bodies in our solar system: is there water out there? Is there life beyond Earth?
In the second half of the planetarium programs participants will view the night sky and learn the mythology behind some of today's most
popular constellations. Participants are encouraged to ask questions they may have about astronomy.
Again, Please note, Space is limited. Participants will be selected by Lottery.
More details will be posted ASAP.
