The Melbourne Planetarium reawakens after hours for adults only with a stellar line-up of fulldome film screenings.

There are two screenings a night, join us for one or both.

The 7.30pm session focuses on astronomy and may feature What’s in the Sky Tonight (WITST), a presenter-led tour through the night sky. The 9pm session features a fulldome art film offering an immersive voyage into unseen worlds. So, whether you are into science or art, or both, we've got you covered.

Enjoy a drink from the bar in planetary surroundings.

Planetarium Nights is for adults 18 years and over.

June Program

All-sky astronomy is a new way of looking at the sky to better understand our Universe.

Produced in partnership with the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-Sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO), this show highlights current research being carried out by astronomers within Australia.

New and innovative telescopes such as SkyMapper in NSW and the Murchison Wide-field Array in WA, have been designed to survey large sections of the sky. They are finding things we’ve never seen before and will help us to better understand our Universe.
Time always surrounds us, yet it is so intangible and abstract. This show tries to get closer to this mysterious force, observing and exploring its symbols, ideas and notions by weaving them together with music and sound in an entertaining and thought-provoking way. The result is a non-narrative fulldome arts and music film in the shape of an immersive audiovisual concept album.
