The new dome at Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry opened on April 1 — and this is not an April Fool’s joke.
MOSI’s new 8K-resolution digital dome theatre is now the second largest in the country.
It comes only after Liberty Science Center’s 88 million-pixel Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium in New Jersey.
MOSI’s planetarium has a 10,000-square-foot screen that can take visitors to different galaxies.
The dome is open daily. Tickets are $20 for those 18 and up and $15 for those below 17.
With tickets, visitors can choose one of the shows below to watch. Times are subject to change.
- 10:30 AM: Oasis in Space
- 11:45 AM: Edge of Darkness
- 1:00 PM: Solar Superstorms
- 2:15 PM: Oasis in Space
- 3:30 PM: Seven Wonders
If you leave your session wanting to explore some more, you can watch an extra show for $5.
Although looking at different galaxies for around 45 minutes might make you hungry, food and drinks are not allowed inside the dome.
