We invite you to join us for an on site or online planetarium show presented by an astronomer in their native language.

The Universe is a vast and intriguing place, and this show explores our own little corner of it: the Solar System. Starting from our home planet, the Earth, we’ll travel through our celestial neighbourhood, visiting planets, moons, asteroids and more!

This programme is intended for bilingual or multilingual families who wish to explore the Universe with us in a language other than English.
