UTA Planetarium offers a variety of shows that follow TEKS standards.
To start off, our astronomers provide a tour of the Texas nighttime sky without all those pesky and distracting city lights. See the night sky the way our ancestors did in all its splendor. See the solar system, other point-of-interest objects, and trending astronomy topics.
Next, you get to ask the questions and our astronomer will provide the answers. What's Mars made of? How hot is Venus, really?
Finally, the show will conclude with an immersive and fun full-dome feature movie. Surround sound with surround video. Enjoy!
While self-guided tours and bringing a group to experience what life is like on campus can be enjoyable, take advantage of other engaging and memorable experiences on campus.
