Traveling Galaxy Show

Forget about transportation costs, permission slips, and organizational headaches. We come to you for a fraction of the cost of a traditional field trip,

Our new 19-foot inflatable portable digital dome planetarium holds 35-40 students, perfect for individualized teaching and lively discussions. Led by an experienced instructor, your students will travel through the solar system, underwater, or even inside a human cell – all without leaving the school building!

This is a valuable adjunct to the classroom experience which can be extended with our lesson plans and classroom activities.

You can select from the following programs, or we can customize a show to meet your needs. All curriculum is matched to national and state science education standards.

Meet The Stars

Treat your kindergarten students to a science lesson in the stars! Students will use interactive activities to learn about the Sun, planets, stars and moon. (K-2)

Constellation Myths

Explore the universe through the lens of ancient mythology, and learn how our Greek, Africa, and Native American ancestors used the stars to navigate the world.

Sun, Energy, & Weather

Learn about the intricate relationship among the Sun, its energy, and the weather patterns it creates here on Earth.

Tour of the Solar System

Hop a ride on our virtual spaceship and take a grand tour of Earths neighborhood, from the Sun all the way to Pluto and beyond.

Solar System Cycles Patterns

Just like Earth, the Solar System has its own cycles and patterns that can be measured. Take a journey with us and learn what this means for us here at home.

All About the Moon

Students learn how to read a moon map and are trained how to locate specific features on the moons surface. Meteors, meteorites, comets, asteroids, and other space phenomena are covered in this enjoyable program. Students also use a star chart to locate the planets and stars of the seasonal sky.

Processes That Shape Earth

Our planet is a dynamic one that is constantly being shaped by many distinct, yet related, processes. Discover the ways in which they have brought us to where we are now, and where they are taking us.

Duke Energy STEM Careers

Prepare your kids for the jobs of the future with this exciting program that highlights career fields that are currently, and will continue to be, growing. STEM is about much more than just engineering!

Eclipses, Tides, & Our Moon

Learn about how the Moon plays a critical role in many of the terrestrial phenomena here on Earth.

Motions of the Earth

Discover the ways in which our home planet moves through space, and how those movements contribute to and affect life here on Earth.

Weather & Seasons

Explore how much our seasons, and the weather that accompanies them, are dependent upon both the Suns energy and the Earths position.

Plate Tectonics

Based on the work of Dr. Paul D. Lowman (the continental Drift theory), this show involves a full dome projection of the active ridges, faults, spreading centers, and volcanic activity over the last million years.

Cell World

Go inside a human cell and experience cellular digestion and reproduction up close! This one million-time magnification of a composite cell demonstrates the workings of a one-celled organism. Endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, the Golgi complex, secretion vesicle, lysosomes, pinocytotic vesicles, microvilli, cilia, chromosomes and nucleolus are clearly displayed. An ideal introduction to cellular biology.

Black Holes & Dark Matter

Jump to the cutting edge of space exploration and astrophysics where scientists are uncovering some of the darkest secrets of phenomena that are literally out of this world!

The Life & Death of Stars

Stars are incredible celestial objects that, just like us, have a birth, life and death. Learn about the changes stars undergo and what they mean for us.

Our Universe

This comprehensive program provides a general overview of the universe, an introduction to its complexities, and why understanding it is important to us here on Earth.

Space Technology

Learn about some of NASAs projects, both past and present, that allowing us to remotely learn about and understand our complex universe.
