TOTALITY!
Everyone in the continental US will experience at least a partial solar eclipse on April 8. Total solar eclipses are rare and beautiful phenomena, and in this new planetarium show you will learn how eclipses happen, how to safely view one, and where these two eclipses take place. You will learn the history of eclipse watchers and how to observe safely.
BEYOND THE SUN
While Celeste is fighting off sleep in her room by reading a book on astronomy she receives an unexpected visit from Moon. Together, they will enjoy a journey through the Universe to discover what exoplanets are and how they can be detected. They observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of planets like Earth.

ASTRONOMÍA A GRAN ESCALA
Astronomía a Gran Escala narra la historia de las personas y lugares que hacen posible la gran astronomía y la gran ciencia. El programa de planetario transporta a los espectadores a Chile, donde los cielos oscuros y el entorno seco y remoto crean las condiciones ideales para observar el Universo. Para el 2022, se espera que la mayor parte de la infraestructura de observación terrestre del mundo esté ubicada en Chile. Estados Unidos y otros países están invirtiendo miles de millones de dólares para promover asociaciones de astronomía en el país. Big Astronomy presenta al público la amplia variedad de personas involucradas en el avance del descubrimiento astronómico.
