The Sun – Our Living Star

Shown on weekends starting from September 13

At first glance, the Sun may appear ordinary and familiar. In reality, it is an extraordinary, ever-changing star that plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. Formed 4.6 billion years ago, it continues to provide light and energy, shaping our planet’s climate and development.

From the myths of ancient civilizations to the frontiers of modern astrophysics, “The Sun, Our Living Star” explores the origin, influence, and significance of this powerful force. Combining scientific insight with striking visuals, the film offers a fresh perspective on our closest star.

Visitors with health conditions should be aware that this session features bright and rapidly changing images.

The planetarium program is enhanced by a presentation created by Science Island, guiding audiences through the outer regions of the Solart System – from the mysterious Oort Cloud that surrounds it to the nearest neighboring stars within our galaxy.
