More about our shows…

"How rare is Earth?"
Dr. Eastmond, our Planetarium Director, presents an engaging introduction of physical concepts used in astronomy.  Take a tour of our Solar System and learn to appreciate how rare the conditions are on our planet.

"The Star of Bethlehem"
Each December, Dr. Eastmond presents a special Holiday show. Take trip through time to see how the sky looked 2000 years ago.  A must see!

"Where are you?"
Lift off with Sheryl Johnson and travel across our magnificent Solar System and Galaxy. Discover our own unique place and address in the universe.

"How far is up?" 
Bob Menn introduces the scientific method. Go in search of the answer to the deceptively simple question, “How far is up?” Visit the planets of the Solar System, our Milky Way Galaxy and the limits of what we can see in our Universe.

As Plutarch once said, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited."  At the Tessmann Planetarium, we  strive to ignite minds with the wonder of astronomy and build a pathway to the stars.
