Astronomy for Children / Planetarium Show LIVE

Programme:
11.00: Planetarium show - Astronomy for children
11.35: Break
11.50: Film: Áróra
12.15: Thank you / opportunity to visit exhibitions and activities

Facilitator: Mie Dall Visby, student at University of Copenhagen

Under the Planetarium dome, the facilitator guides children and adults through stars, planets and the Moon - no telescope or prior knowledge required. You will learn to navigate the night sky, spot constellations like Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper, and understand why the Moon has craters and how to distinguish a star from a planet. Each child receives an astronomy kit to take home, so exploration can continue under the real night sky.

The show concludes with the award-winning fulldome film Áróra, where Emma Sehested Høeg takes you into the universe of the northern lights.

Your ticket also gives access to exhibitions, workshops and Science Shows the same day. Check the full programme for the day on the website before you plan your visit.
