Here and on Facebook.com/Island Planetarium, we'll post virtual planetarium activities for you to enjoy. It is likely to be 2021 before we can welcome you to the Island Planetarium again. 

We shall have web-based offerings until then, many of them free for you. Sorry that we cannot open to welcome you.

Here is a FREE show to watch at home, it is 

“The Secret Life of Stars”

Evans and Sutherland,  a major planetarium provider, has released links to some of their planetarium shows, as flat-screen videos to planetaria around the world. We may not be able to go to planetaria but we can enjoy shows on our TV's or laptops.

Email me on enquiry@islandastronomy.co.uk for the link; then Google Vimeo for the player, sign up and enter the link I send.

Please send me a short review and I'll send you links to other shows. Don't pass the link to friends, ask them to contact me for them to enjoy it.

Please do not pass the link onto your friends, please ask them to request it from me, also please send me a very short review of what you thinkand I send a link to other shows .
