Seasonal Stargazing 2D or 3D

What can we see in the night sky and what does it tell us about each other?

Join our live planetarium presenter on a journey around the seasonal night sky inside the UK's only 3D Planetarium. See what's visible in tonight's sky before flying off to a host of amazing astronomical destinations. We'll be exploring our understanding of the cosmos through science, history and mythology.

Throughout the year, as the night sky changes, so will our stories. See below to find out what adventures await.
