On Saturdays the planetarium hosts three shows beginning at 4 p.m. with StarSigns. This show focuses on the astrological signs that originated from the star patterns in the sky. At 5:30 p.m., the planetarium shows Moons: Worlds of Mystery. Moons immerses the audience into the diversity of moons and the roles they play in shaping the solar system. The planetarium ends the night with Laser Beyonce, starting at 7 p.m., featuring top hits by Beyonce, including Formation, Irreplaceable, Independent Women, Naughty Girl, Halo and much more.

The planetarium also introduces Totality, a show that takes a look at all the wonders of eclipses. It examines the scientific discovery when general relativity began with the photographic recording of a total solar eclipse. Totality plays on Sundays at 3 p.m.
