Planetarium 2.0 is more than an upgrade, as our science team has been working to build a “next level” educational experience! From July 1st to August 31st, 2024, we bring space down to earth in a whole new way! Each week we cover a specific topic within the realms of astronomy, spaceflight, S.T.E.A.M, and history. These weeks, covering the sun, earth, moon, and beyond will highlight some of the next-level programming that the Lohman Planetarium team has been developing with our new system. This will be some of the most comprehensive and enriching programming our team has worked on, and it illustrates what the planetarium will be bringing for the future, so you don't want to miss it!
2:00pm Live Show: Flight Through the Solar System
A classic live show returns to a new era of the Planetarium. Using the most detailed model of our solar system to date, we journey from our own museum courtyard to the outermost fringes of the Sun's influence, stopping along the way to visit the rich worlds of our home system.
Planetarium admission is not included in general museum admission. MOAS members receive unlimited planetarium admission. Register for this show online or at the Museum's guest relations desk. If you purchase a show online in advance, you will be required to also purchase museum admission prior to your visit or upon arrival the day of the show.
