Join us in the Launceston Planetarium for our next screening of The Sun: Our Living Star.
About this Event


The Sun is the only star that we can study from relatively close range, and learning more about our Sun helps astronomers to understand more about other stars.

The Sun: Our Living Star presents a wealth of information about the Sun in an easily understandable way. It includes spectacular graphics showing how the Sun generates its energy, and that it reveals many of its secrets to astronomers, who observe it in different wavelengths of light.

This exciting program about the Sun was produced by the European Southern Observatory. It made its world debut at the International Planetarium Society Conference in France in July 2018.

Each Planetarium show is followed by a live tour of the current night sky.
