🌙 NEW! MOST planetarium experience, Mission: Moon. Travel to the Moon to learn about our nearest neighbor in the solar system. Explore our moon, from historical observations to plans to establish a long-term human presence on the surface. Perfect for all ages, this show explores lunar features and key milestones in our scientific study of the moon (moon rocks, anyone?). Plus, learn about the history of NASA lunar exploration and get a sneak preview of NASA’s Artemis upcoming missions! Planetarium shows are presented live by science educators during most showings.

🪐 Coming December 26! FREE Stargazing presented by The Summit Federal Credit Union. Sit back, relax, and view the night sky at your own pace. Come and go as you’d like anytime during free stargazing time to view constellations, moons, and more in our domed digital planetarium. Presented without narration, this session is the perfect introduction to the stars for young children, sensory-sensitive viewers, and busy visitors looking for a sample of the experience at the Silverman Planetarium in the National Grid ExploraDome.
