What's on at the Peter Harrison Planetarium

The Royal Observatory is reopening soon. However, due to government guidelines the Planetarium is still currently closed to visitors.

Even though the Planetarium is closed, you can still join our astronomers live online for free virtual shows and Q&As.

Enjoy a virtual planetarium show with Solar System Discovery, or meet real astronomers and get answers to some of the biggest questions in the universe.
