Horizon live!(20 minutes) As part of every Horizon - the Planetarium show, Horizon’s expert presenters take you on a guided tour through the stars, planets and current astronomical events in the night sky. Visit neighbouring planets, observe Moon phases or catch a ride with a comet, as we take an amazing live journey into space. |
