The Georgia Southern University Planetarium is an immersive astronomy laboratory.

At the Georgia Southern Planetarium, we aim to teach and impart excitement about space and astronomy. We provide shows for pre-k through senior citizens, and even do public evenings with star shows and telescopic observing!

Brand New Show!

We got some new shows. "Surviving in Space" comes from our friends at the Milwaukee Public Museum. This show will be available for school group reservations and during our Public Events.

"Ever dream of rocketing into space or being an astronaut in Earth's orbit? Explore these fascinating journeys and beyond with NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and her robot helper, SLOTH! That’s short for Space Life Operations Trainer for Humans."

We have four sky maps ready for use this weekend. One with all constellations. One with just the Planets at night and the Morning. One focusing on the current season with a few of the brighter constellations.

Brand New Show!

We got some new shows. "Cosmic Questions" comes from our friends at the Milwaukee Public Museum. This show will be available for school group reservations and during our Public Events.

"Everyone has a cosmic question! Explore our answers and how we handled the big mysteries like aliens, black holes, and multiverse!"

Our first Summer show is this Friday! We will be showing Black Holes on May 29th. We will also be including a constellation show to show what is currently in the sky.

May 29th @ 10 am
The immensity and power of black holes inspire wonder and curiosity. The mass of a large star has collapsed and compressed into an area so small that space and time have no meaning within its bounds. Our journey also visits super-massive black holes of unfathomable size at the central point of galaxies.

Tickets are $5
