From Framingham State University’s Christa McAuliffe Center and FSU Planetarium:

Described as NASA’s new flagship telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope successfully launched on August 30, 2026. Join us for a live show exploring Roman’s capabilities and the science it will do in its first year in space. Afterwards we will show the film, Phantom of the Universe.

From the journey of protons racing through the world’s largest particle collider in Europe to up-close views of the Big Bang and emergent cosmos, Phantom of the Universe is a fulldome planetarium show designed to immerse audiences in the search for dark matter. Beautiful visualizations and concise narration shed light upon a major open question in our study of the Universe.

Recommended for: Families and all ages
