Astronomy is humanity’s oldest science, one that humans have been studying ever since we were able to look up. In this show we will explore the night sky through the eyes of astronomers spanning from palaeolithic cave paintings of constellations to Han dynasty recordings of supernovae. Take a journey through time to learn about the oldest clocks and calendars, the precise mapping of the movements of the stars thousands of years ago, and ancient observations of phenomena modern astronomers are still studying today!

All ticket sales are final.  Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.

A note that this show is not specifically designed for kids – if you are interested in a show designed for a younger audience, please consider our Introductory Astronomy for Kids options (typically on the first Wednesday or the third Saturday of each month).
