Come and enjoy a spectacular night-time show! Not only a total lunar eclipse, but a possible 4 planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars) on view! What’s more, Mars will be at opposition, meaning it will be directly opposite the Sun and therefore at its brightest, and also at its closest point to Earth since 2003!
Bring your friends and relax in the compound of the only fixed planetarium across West, Central and East Africa. Dodge the traffic and enjoy mellow music while viewing the wonders of the night sky! Refreshments will be on sale.
