Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System - September 18 and 25 at 4:30 PM

Experience the Solar System like never before - by traveling on a spacecraft that can turn the objects in space into sound!

Be transported inside a special spacecraft that takes you to the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) to view the stars in the night sky before lifting them off into space to visit the Earth, Moon, Sun, and all the planets of the Solar System.

Unlike traditional planetarium shows, the soundtrack takes the lead role. Each of the objects in space is represented with sounds as well as being presented with incredible visuals. The audience listens to the stars appear and hears the planets orbit around their heads. This means that this show is an immersive experience that can be enjoyed irrespective of their level of vision.

NOTE: This special showing is only available on Sunday, September 18, and Sunday, September 25, at 4:30 PM.
