👨‍🚀 presentation of astronomy topics by an experienced Astronomer

Students watch a half-hour astronomy documentary (tailored to their age group) inside the dome, and then the activity continues outside at the telescope —with the use of special filters we observe sunspots on the Sun’s surface, while discussing space, and after explaining what meteorites are, each student will hold a meteorite in their hand.

Upon entering the planetarium dome, visitors leave their everyday lives behind. In a specially designed space featuring a 57-square-meter screen that covers the entire inner surface of the dome, images are projected all around, creating an immersive visual environment. Viewers sit comfortably in chairs, enjoying both comfort and stunning views, feeling as if they are floating in space.

Add a WOW factor to your school or event! 

We come to your School

Whether indoors or outdoors, regardless of weather conditions (cold, heat, rain). The dome is air-conditioned with heating in winter and cooling in summer.

Planetarium Shows consists of fascinating documentaries and digital visualizations that invite us to travel to distant galaxies, take a tour at the Solar System, get to know all the planets as well as the Sun, and learn what life is like for astronauts.

The experience isn’t limited to shows alone. An experienced astronomer presents astronomical topics in an accessible, understandable and exciting way, transforming scientific knowledge into a narrative —almost like a fairy tale for young and old alike.

Visitors have the opportunity to observe the sky live through a telescope. During the day, the Sun reveals its secrets, while at night the starry sky unfolds before us with stars, nebulae, and distant galaxies.

One of the most special moments of the event is the rare opportunity to hold a real meteorite in your hand. A piece of space − with its own incredible story − comes to you, waiting for you to touch it, offering a literally out-of-this-world experience.

The Planetarium can be a source not only of entertainment, but also of inspiration, learning, and new experiences. This magical journey through the universe reminds us that, under the same sky, we all share the same curiosity, the same sense of wonder, and the same need to look up.

Planetrium On The Go is a unique mobile planetarium with a fixed dome and chairs for the spectators. Its main feature is the hemispherical projection screen 6m in diameter and 57 square meters in surface area! The images are projected across the entire inner surface completely surrounding the audience creating an impressive immersive environment.

During our visits Meteorites are presented and explained by the astronomer offering a new perspective on the exploration of the Universe.

Hold a real meteorite in your hand —a truly out of this world experience!

Discover through the eyepiece of a telescope, what is out there!

Every year we cover a distance longer than Earth’s perimeter – 40,000 km – bringing space exploration to every corner of Greece and anywhere in the World if invited!

By showing the fascinating discoveries in space exploration, it both inspires and educates people of all ages about our surroundings – the Earth itself and our place in the Universe.

In a time when quality science education is more important than ever, a scientifically literate public is an essential part of the progress of any country.
