Planetarium Shows
in the Charles Hayden Planetarium
The Charles Hayden Planetarium is the most technologically advanced digital theater in New England.
Powered by superior full-dome video and audio systems and a state-of-the-art Zeiss Starmaster projector, this facility brilliantly showcases a variety of engaging shows, including the Museum's newest original production, Moons: Worlds of Mystery.
We also invite you to participate in seasonal Friday evening astronomy activities, which may include stargazing in the Museum's Gilliland Observatory on clear nights. Astronomy enthusiasts should also check out our monthly sky chart and viewing guide (PDF).
