NASA Digital Theater Movies


Blending 21st-century scientific thought and production techniques, movies at MPSC provide an in-depth look at prominent scientists and the way they've changed our world.

MPSC has joined internationally-known scientists and filmmakers to produce two major movies exploring some of today's most important scientific theories. These movies are presented in the NASA Digital Theater, which features high-definition projection on a "movie house" screen with riser seating for perfect viewing.

Admission to NASA Digital Theater movies is included with purchase of a MPSC planetarium show ticket.

Seasonal schedules

Visiting soon? Check out Morehead's interactive calendar to see what's happening when you'll be here. Just click the date — the interactive calendar is typically up-to-date within one week of today.

Please note that Morehead does not offer all of its shows every day and that exhibits may be closed for maintenance or for classes during some hours.

If you're planning to visit several weeks from today, check out our current schedule of public shows to plan your trip and check the interactive calendar just before your visit to learn about any schedule updates.

Please note that seasonal schedules change four times each year (spring, summer, fall and holiday), and some shows are not offered during every schedule.


School shows

In addition to its public shows, Morehead offers shows during the week especially for school classes and other field trip groups. These school shows do not appear on the seasonal schedule but do appear on Morehead's daily calendar.

If seats are available, the public may purchase tickets to school shows.

However, school groups with reserved seating have first priority on any remaining seats (for example, if extra chaperons attend), so Morehead cannot guarantee that public seats will be available for school shows.
