> "Polaris" children's show (ages 5 and up) - duration 60 minutes :
James, a traveling penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, a funny bear from the North Pole, meet on the Arctic ice floe. As apprentice astronomers, they wonder why night is so long at both poles of the Earth. An extraordinary scientific adventure takes them from building an observatory to constructing a makeshift spaceship. On a journey around the Earth and on to Mars and Saturn, they'll answer their questions and discover that the planets have things in common, but also some differences!
Session contents: - Show "Polaris, the space submarine and the mystery of the polar night" - Celestial walk through the constellations representing animals.
> "Lucia, the secret of shooting stars" session (ages 5 and up) - duration 60 minutes : After their adventures in the first Polaris episode, James, the traveling penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, the funny bear from the North Pole, meet Lucia, a hummingbird who's just as curious as they are. Together, they set off into space to discover the secret of shooting stars and meteorites, the mysterious pebbles that fall to Earth.
Could the answer lie on the Moon? Observing asteroids and comets can undoubtedly help our three heroes in their scientific endeavors. But only if they get on well together!
Session content: - "Lucia, the secret of shooting stars" show
- Interactive discovery of the parts of our solar system where asteroids and comets are found, and the origins of shooting star showers such as the Perseids - Presentation of meteorites outside the planetarium.
