Have you ever wanted to look a little deeper into the night sky, not just to identify what you’re seeing, but to understand how it all works? In this brand new two‑hour live planetarium session, we’ll explore the stories, science, and structures that shape our view of the cosmos.
Stargazing 201 builds on the foundations of our beginner programme, taking you further into seasonal constellations, cultural astronomy, the lives and evolution of stars, and the possibility of life beyond Earth. You’ll also journey outward through the observable universe and discover how telescopes allow us to see far beyond the limits of our eyes.
Sit back and enjoy an immersive guided tour of the universe under our planetarium dome, brought to life with our high‑definition laser projectors. Designed for curious minds ready to go further, Stargazing 201 is ideal for those who’ve attended Stargazing 101 but remains accessible and engaging for all.
Includes:
- Intermission with refreshments
- Access to Space Place’s galleries and interactive exhibits
20% discount at Space Place Shop (excludes food and already discounted items)
Doors open 6:30pm | Event 7:00pm-9:00pm | Space Place | R16
