The Year in Space 2025

You’ll also experience breathtaking new images released this year by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope, along with standout entries from the New Zealand Astrophotographer of the Year Awards — offering a uniquely Aotearoa perspective of our night sky.
Join us for a spectacular look back at the year’s most unforgettable cosmic moments.

Bookings essential. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for shows. Late entry into the planetarium is not possible once the show has started.
