Northern Lights Planetarium
The Northern Lights Planetarium was the first planetarium in Norway open to the public, and is now the planetarium at Nordnorsk vitensenter - the Science Centre of Northern Norway. We have daily all-dome shows about and with northern lights, and can also show constellations and journeys through the solar system and the distant galaxies.
