Orbital invites you into a dream-like animated exploration of our world from the perspective of astronauts. Using their first-hand accounts and hyper-real visualisations of Earth, this meditative experience inspires a new connection to this planet we all call home.

A new film for 2025 by Guy Reid and Planetary Collective, Orbital transports you through an abstract landscape of light, inspired by bioluminescent earthly beings and atmospheric aurorae. Guided by the voices of the astronauts and cosmonauts of Constellation Coalition who have looked back and experienced the awe of our place in the universe, you will feel your own “Overview Effect” as you meditate on our planet.

Bookings essential. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for planetarium shows.

Free entry for Te Whatu Stardome Annual Pass holders.
