The shows at the planetarium are “Hayabusa Back to the Earth” and “A Planet for Goldilocks.”

The first chronicles the journey of Hayabusa, a Japanese space probe that was sent to collect samples from an asteroid in an attempt to discover secrets of our solar system. The latter is about the techniques astronomers use to find a planet that is suitable for life.
