Virtual planetarium shows

The Wayne State Planetarium uses Zoom to host a live planetarium show about the summer sky. Our presenters will guide you through a show about the night sky over Detroit followed by a question and answer session.  At the end of the show, we'll give you the link to a 30-minute film which you can watch at the time of the show or save for another day.
