Black Holes and the Dark Cosmos
For most of human history, our view of the Universe has been limited to just what we can see with our eyes. In recent decades, we have developed new technologies allowing us to peer into the unseen. Join us as we explore the parts of the cosmos invisible to our eyes, like dark matter, dark energy, and black holes.
Tonight's Sky Live
Experience the breathtaking sight of a dark sky full of stars, far from the bright city lights. We'll find tonight's planets and constellations in that starry sky, then explore nebulas, glaxies, and more as seen by NASA space missions and telescopes.
Space Trip
Embark on a journey into deep space at our wide-ranging planetarium show, Space Trip.
Ride a roller coaster on Mars, voyage through the rings of Saturn, travel to the heart of a nebula, and visit the realm of the galaxies, all before reaching the edge of the known universe.
One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure
Join Sesame Street friends in an out-of-this-world planetarium show!
Explore the night sky with Big Bird, Elmo, and a friend from China named Hu Hu Zhu. In this show, you'll learn about the Big Dipper, the North Star, the Sun and the Moon.
To Worlds Beyond
Take an unforgettable journey through our solar system, making awe-inspiring stops along the way. In this full-dome film, you’ll travel from the fiery surface of Venus to the vast mountains and canyons of Mars to the spewing methane geysers of Neptune’s giant moon Triton!

In this program series, a guest astronomer presents a FREE Space Talk in the planetarium, taking full advantage of its state-of-the-art systems and immersive environment. Come join these cosmic conversations under our giant dome!
Each Space Talk kicks off an LSC After Dark evening for guests age 21 and up, when the Center is open late for delicious food and drinks, dancing, laser shows, and more. Don’t miss the fun!
