Tickets can only be purchased on-line via: https://www.ticketleap.events/events/glastonburyplanetarium or in-person on the day of the show. Please do not call or stop by the GEHMS office to purchase tickets or inquire about tickets. Doors to the planetarium will open about 15- 30 minutes before the advertised show time. Due to the very dark environment of the planetarium, shows are recommended for ages 6 and up. Please plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the show begins as the presentation starts promptly. There is NO LATE ADMITTANCE due to the dark conditions in the planetarium. Most programs last 60 -90 minutes and are a combination of a live lecture and planetarium full-dome movie.
Schedule is subject to change. All ticket sales are final.
Birth of the Planet Earth
Birth of the Planet Earth
Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at 5:30 pm
Narrated by Richard Dormer.
Birth of Planet Earth tells the twisted tale of our planet’s origins. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

Audiences are transported on a startling and beautiful voyage through our universe, galaxy and solar system in search of liquid water, a key ingredient for life on Earth. Using some the latest planetary science and imagery, we’ll travel to the depths of our Solar System to learn about each member of our family of planets from tragic Mars to lonely Neptune. We'll also take an in-depth and fun look at the variety of objects found in the night sky such as stars, planets, constellations, deep sky objects and more.
