"The Sky Tonight"     

This live show uses the Digistar 4 to highlight the prominent celestial objects that are visible from San Diego skies.  The Moon, planets, and many of the constellation patterns and their mythology will be discussed as the audience is taken on a tour of the current night sky.  Other timely celestial events and astronomical news makers will be included and discussed as they occur throughout the year.
  

Fulldome Feature  
The unique nature of our fulldome digital theater allows us to present feature shows that will use the entire dome creating an immersive experience.  Audiences will be taken on astronomical journeys that will make them feel like they are part of the show.  Presentations will vary - details of the current show are described at the top of this page.
