History
The
Exhibition
The exhibition underwent a major renovation in 2017, and the new exhibition Cosmos (formerly Made in Space) opened in February 2018. The exhibition was made in collaboration with Tony-winning, London based designers, 59 Productions, and was made on a donation from the foundation
Planetarium is home to the largest lunar rock that can be seen outside the US. Weighing more than 200 grams, it was brought back to Earth by the crew on the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
In the Dome Theatre there are shows every day. The centre also screens films. Most are narrated to Danish, but it is possible to have English narration in headphones. During summertime there are normally a few shows in English every day. There are also two smaller exhibitions. One about the moon and the other about Saturn's rings.
