Planetarium Showing from 1/24 until 2/1 at 3:00 PM
Show Description - America’s first teacher selected for space, Christa McAuliffe is the focus of a powerful documentary about the creation of a statue commemorating her remarkable legacy. The statue, unveiled September 2024 on the New Hampshire State House lawn was sculpted by renowned Idaho artist Benjamin Victor. This documentary celebrates Christa's life and her enduring legacy. Through interviews with former students, New Hampshire dignitaries, and educators, she is remembered as a teacher who believed that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. As the first woman and educator to be commemorated with a statue on the New Hampshire State House lawn, Christa remains an inspiration to the next generation of dreamers and achievers.

Please note before purchasing your planetarium tickets:
Planetarium tickets are an add-on to general admission tickets and won’t be accepted without proof of general admission tickets.
Planetarium show ticket sales stop 10 minutes before our shows are scheduled to begin. This ensures everyone gets to the planetarium theater in time for the show to begin.
If you pre-purchase tickets to a show, you must still check in at the front desk when you arrive to receive your admittance sticker.
Planetarium ticket holders are expected to be present outside the theater doors 5-10 minutes before each show. We need to create a very dark environment for you to see the stars, so once the audience is seated, the show begins, and no late seating is allowed.
Early departure is permitted, but re-entry is not. The Discovery Center is not responsible for refunding tickets due to late arrivals or early departures.
Planetarium shows run approximately 25-45 minutes.
The planetarium show schedule is subject to change without notice.
