Is the show suitable for guests who are prone to seizures or motion sickness?
There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures. Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.

Is the show suitable for autistic people?
We have found that autistic people LOVE our shows! Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required. Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.

  • Check-in begins 30 minutes before each show.
  • The show is approximately 50 minutes long.

    Please note:
  • VIP ticket holders are invited to enjoy early seat selection in the planetarium, starting from 15 minutes before show start time.

Morehead State University Star Theater


The Space Science Center's Star Theater at Morehead State University is a state-of-the-art digital planetarium serving the surrounding areas of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and West Virginia. It serves as a classroom and planetarium for the region's educators, MSU students and the public.

Located in MSU's architecturally compelling Space Science Center, the Star Theater is unlike anything else in the region. The 100-seat digital theater serves as a classroom and planetarium for the region's educators, MSU students and the general public. The Space Science Center offers regularly scheduled public planetarium and laser feature shows (from their extensive feature collection) that include live presentations of the night sky. School, community, and church groups can schedule the Star Theater for their own shows. The Space Science Center also has special events, such as their celebration of International Observe the Moon night each year and the Solar Eclipse on April 8 2024.

The Star Theater projects full 180º x 360º real-time blended video and graphics on a 40-foot dome screen with state-of-the-art surround sound. In digital theater mode, the all-dome video allows a broad range of programming, including simulated travel through deep space and the ocean's deepest depths. This experience allows free movement through a 3D universe viewing endless astronomical phenomena, such as comets, planets, and supernovas, with full motion and 3D texturing. Our newly refurbished laser system also projects 3D images on the full dome.
