| A Voyage with Voyager |
|
It is 1977 and you are the newly built NASA probe, Voyager 1. You prepare for your long journey through our Solar System and beyond, to places in the Universe no human-made object has ever been. You pack your bag with some messages and music from humanity, stored on a golden record, to present to any new friends you may meet on the way. Join us in the Planetarium to experience the sights and sounds of an absolutely out-of-this-world road trip! We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.

| Introductory Astronomy for Kids - Solar System |
|
Join us at the planetarium for a show especially geared towards a younger audience (around 8-15 years old) and their family members. We'll first take you on a tour around the night skies seen from Hamilton, and then focus on the many fascinating bodies within our Solar System. Along the way we will visit all of the planets, some of the most interesting moons, and even more if time permits! We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.

| What Happened to the Sun? |
|
After your darkest hour, the Sun will shine again... Every so often, in the middle of the day when the Sun is bright and the air is warm, a dark shadow passes over Earth, the temperature drops, stars and planets become visible, and the Sun appears to disappear. The event? A total solar eclipse. In this show, we will discover what happens during solar and lunar eclipses, observe planetary transits, and discuss the astronomical explanation for the question: "What happened to the Sun?" We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.

| What's Up in the May Sky? |
|
Spring evenings are a great time for looking up into the night sky as the evenings are still dark early, and temperatures are getting warmer. But what are we looking at? Do any astronomical events occur during May? Join us in the Planetarium as we explore what's up in the night sky at this time of year from our perspective in Hamilton. We'll learn about objects we can see with the naked eye - the Moon, some planets, constellations, and a meteor shower! Then, we'll look deeper into space and learn about objects that are above us but can only be seen using a telescope - like other galaxies millions of light years away. We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.
