Central Florida Nights

Event details Date: Friday, October 16, 2026 Time: 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM Location: Planetarium B-117 About this event "Central Florida Nights" is the flagship presentation of the Planetarium, shown more times each year than any other show. Offering a guided tour of the current night sky, it is updated every two weeks to match the slow march of constellations we see as Earth revolves around the sun. During each presentation, guests will learn how to locate seven or eight prominent constellations. The locations of the visible planets, upcoming meteor showers, bright comets and other notable celestial happenings will also be explored. Skies permitting, guests can go outside afterward to identify many of the objects seen during the show. They can also take a look at the night sky through the planetarium's telescopes. Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for students and seniors (55+). Tickets can be purchased by clicking on the "Additional Information" link. Seating is first come first served, so we advise everyone to arrive early for ideal seating. No one may enter or re-enter the planetarium once the show begins and doors are closed.
