  • Our Place in Space

    The fan-favorite planetarium show "Our Place in Space" is newly refreshed! Join the INTUITIVE® Planetarium on an epic guided tour of our solar system with new images captured by missions like Juno and BepiColombo. Experience our entire solar system with your own personal tour guide - from solar flares at the Sun and expansive canyons on Mars to diamond rain cascading through Neptune's turbulent skies. Zoom out to view the Milky Way and the entire observable universe to gain some perspective of our place in space.
  • Space Rocks

    Pardon our pun, but asteroids rock! While these large space rocks can cause catastrophic events, like the mass extinction of dinosaurs over 65 million years ago, asteroids are so much more than that! These planetary building blocks are pristine windows to our early solar system, giving us a glimpse into our past and providing vital information to protect our future. Join us for Space Rocks, a showcase of the human innovation and ingenuity behind our missions to study them.
  • Miss Baker

    Celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the Launch of Miss Baker!  Miss Baker and her companion Able became the first U.S. animals to successfully complete a mission to space. On May 28, 1959, the pair were launched on a Jupiter missile, which took them on a 16-minute suborbital flight. They experienced 9 minutes of weightlessness.
  • Winter Skies

    Learn about the winter night sky and the various objects that are visible at this time of year, in this live and interactive presentation. Your personal tour guide to the cosmos will teach you to navigate through the sky and highlight constellations, planets, and even some deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae.
