A new planetarium show about the lives of stars presented by an astronomer from the Royal Observatory Greenwich

About

Join Royal Museums Greenwich for Starstruck, a live planetarium show presented by an astronomer from the Royal Observatory Greenwich. 

When you look at the night sky, you might wonder: what are all those twinkling lights? Why are they different colours? Where do they come from? Will they ever disappear? Are they home to planets?

This show explores the lives of stars, from birth to death, and everything in between!

Show times:
Starstruck runs Saturday and Sunday during term time and daily during school holidays.

* Recommended ages 7+. Under-5s will not be admitted – Ted's Space Adventure is suitable for younger children.

About the Peter Harrison Planetarium
The Royal Observatory is home to London’s only Planetarium. 

Lie back in reclining seats and watch as the dome above you fills with stunning simulations of the night sky. Astronomers can show you the sky as it appears on the date you visit, travel deep into the Universe and display amazing astronomy photography and video. 

During live shows there’s often a chance to ask questions after the show: don’t miss your chance to speak to a real space expert!
