Event Series: Planetarium Show

Enjoy a rotating selection of planetarium shows at the Museum of Natural History daily at 2:00 PM in July and August.

Monday through Wednesday: Sky Views Planetarium Show
Explore the night sky. Take a tour of the skies and discover the constellations, planets, nebulae and other stunning night sky objects that can be seen in the night sky. Video imagery will bring viewers up close to black holes, star-forming nebulae and more, showing discoveries in astrophysics while instilling a sense of wonder about our universe.

Thursday and Friday: Solar System Oasis Fulldome Show
Take a voyage through the Solar System in search of water, the key ingredient to life on Earth. The program is followed by a brief tour of the night sky, using the planetarium’s Zeiss star projector.

Saturdays and Sundays: Cosmic Collisions Planetarium Show
Take a thrilling trip through space and time–well beyond the calm face of the night sky–to explore cosmic collisions, hypersonic impacts that drive the dynamic and continuing evolution of the universe. This show explores the full range of space collisions, past, present, and future. Show produced by the American Museum of Natural History.

Cost: Planetarium admission is $3 per person, which includes admission to the Museum. Space is limited, so early arrival to purchase tickets is recommended.
Please note: Entry to the planetarium is not permitted once the show has begun. Children under age 4 are not permitted in the planetarium.

Venue

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
Our next episode of Swan Stories features Roz Raskin of the dreamy Providence-based band @novaone_! Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more!
