Enter into an immersive, inflatable planetarium where you can kick back and enjoy 360-degree films that explore topics like the stars, galaxies, and solar viewing.

11:15 and 2:15 will feature “Two Small Pieces of Glass.” This experience is a visually stunning chronicle of the history of the telescope from the time of Galileo. The film discusses its profound impact on the science of astronomy and how the innovations shaped how we view ourselves within the midst of an infinite universe.

1:15 and 3:15 will feature “Saturn: The Ring World.” The two-story Cassini-Huygens spacecraft began orbiting Saturn on July 1st, 2004 after seven years in transit. Cassini continues to explore Saturn and its moons during its extended mission while the Huygens probe has landed on the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. See Saturn up-close and all around in this film produced by the Houston Museum of Natural Science and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, narrated by Star Trek’s John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox on the Enterprise).
