During the Christmas holidays, the Dome at Museon-Omniversum transforms into a real planetarium. In this live show, NOVA astronomers take you on an unforgettable journey through space. You lift off from the top of the Dome, watch Earth slowly shrink below you, and fly past the International Space Station, Jupiter, Mars and even beyond a black hole. Together, you explore the planets, galaxies and satellites that fill our universe.

Along the way, the astronomers answer questions from curious children and parents, reveal just how vast the universe is, and explain concepts like light-years, black holes and exoplanets. It is exciting, educational and, above all, great fun for families who love discovering things together.
