Many of our favourite stories take place outside of our solar system or even our galaxy, the Milky Way. We are always curious to know what it would be like to live on another planet, take off at light-speed, or fall into a black hole. But how much of what we see in movies or tv shows is true? During this planetarium show, we will take a look at some common tropes we see in space media and ask ourselves: is this fact or fiction? We will learn about what shows and movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, The Martian, Interstellar, and Doctor Who get right or wrong, and celebrate them along the way!

All ticket sales are final.
