Description

Take off on a journey through space and gain fascinating insights into our universe with a live planetarium show presented by expert astronomers from the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Situated in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maritime Greenwich, the Peter Harrison Planetarium is London's only operational planetarium and a must-see destination for space enthusiasts.

This state-of-the-art 120-seat planetarium features captivating shows such as The Sky Tonight which explores the night sky as it will be on the day of your visit, the fascinating lives of the stars, and the many satellites orbiting planet Earth.

Join Earth's fleet of state-of-the-art satellites in We Are Guardians for an immersive exploration of their role in safeguarding our planet. Experience the Solar System in a spacecraft that can turn the objects in space into sound in an Audio Universe. Discover the amazing lifecycle of a star in Starstruck. These shows run throughout the day, and you will be automatically assigned one when you make your booking subject to that day's programming.

Combining real images from spacecraft and telescopes with advanced CGI, the Peter Harrison Planetarium will transport you into the universe without you having to leave your seat.

Join Royal Observatory astronomers and leading scientists on a fascinating journey into space, featuring live planetarium shows, interactive science sessions and much more!

The Royal Observatory
Home to Greenwich Mean Time and the famous Prime Meridian of the World - 0° 0’ 0”, the Royal Observatory is steeped in history and world importance! Built to find longitude at sea, architect Sir Christopher Wren's Royal Observatory is a brilliant museum of time and astronomy. Endorsed by international agreement in 1884 as the Prime Meridian of the world, be sure to stand astride the very line that separates East and West!
