Polaris, the Space Submarine and the Mystery of the Polar Night: Enjoy a special sensory friendly planetarium show! James, a traveling penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, a funny bear from the North Pole, meet on the Arctic sea ice. They become friends, talk about their respective regions and observe the stars together, wondering why the night is so long at the poles of the Earth. Novice astronomers, they are trying to solve this mystery by reasoning and observation. Watch a trailer here.
