PLANETARIUM FEATURE
“Beyond the Sun”
Beyond the Sun is about the amazing search for exoplanets. It is a wonderful, animated program for the whole family.
We start our adventure when CELESTE is fighting off sleep by reading a book on astronomy when, through her bedroom window, she receives a visit from MOON and his mischievous helpers!
With the aid of his helpers, Moon leads Celeste on a journey through the Universe to discover what an exoplanet is and how it can be detected. Together they observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters and how they observe the sky in search of a planet like Earth.
This program includes a brief tour of the current night sky.
