That’s Where It Happens

Science fiction is an important part of pop culture, taking us to many different planets, stars, and galaxies. But did you know that many sci-fi stories are set around stars that you can actually see when you go outside? In this show, we will talk about the stars that inspired some of the stories you know best and how to find the places that you have seen and read about many times, but have never known.

All ticket sales are final. Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.
