Calgary - On the movement of the heavens - July 5, 2025

Step inside a dome and journey through the ever-changing sky in this immersive planetarium show. Perfect for curious minds of all ages!

What you’ll explore:

• How does the movement of stars across the night sky change over the course of a day and a year?
• Does the Sun actually rise in the East and set in the West?
• Why do we have seasons?
• What are equinoxes and solstices?
• What would happen if the earth’s rotation axis wasn’t tilted?
• What causes the Moon’s phases?
• Why do planets sometimes move backward in the sky?

This immersive planetarium experience will answer these questions and more, combining live narration, stunning visuals, and a guided tour of the night sky from our unique vantage point on Earth. Along the way, you’ll discover the elegant rhythms of the solar system and how our ancestors made sense of the heavens long before telescopes or rockets.

Fully immersive visuals projected on a 360° inflatable dome.
Live-guided experience by a space educator.
Fun for families, students, and stargazers alike!
