A cosmic adventure for young explorers at the S-Planetarium Augsburg
With Little Major Tom – Departure into the Unknown, a stage experience opens in Augsburg under the dome, drawing children and families into the vastness of space. Tom and Stella represent curiosity, courage, and teamwork – as well as that blend of storytelling and scientific feeling that makes good family entertainment in the planetarium so compelling. The series is designed as a fulldome experience, combining live-moderated passages with a film program for all ages. The performance is scheduled for June 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM.

When the dome becomes a star space
The theater atmosphere in the planetarium thrives on the 360° projection, the darkness of the room, and images that span like a glowing sky over the audience. The S-Planetarium Augsburg describes its performances as a journey through starry skies, the solar system, the Milky Way, and beyond; it is also among the barrier-free accessible venues in the city, with two wheelchair spaces available in the dome. This creates an immediate experience for children that speaks to both curiosity and wonder. ([augsburg.de](https://www.augsburg.de/kultur/museen-galerien/naturmuseum?utm_source=openai))
Drama between trial and mission
The story relies on classic dramatic tension: Tom and Stella train on a space station while a threatening weather situation escalates on Earth. The content combines adventure, climate awareness, and space travel fantasy into a modern children's narrative with a clear emotional line. In Augsburg, the performance is part of an ongoing program taking place on June 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the S-Planetarium. Regular planetarium prices since April 1, 2026, are €9.50 for adults and €6.50 reduced; the performance follows the public schedule of the venue.

A family outing with a sense of knowledge and wonder
Direction and presentation rely on clarity, tempo, and images of rare suggestive power. The live moderation in the planetarium adapts to the film length to ensure the stage experience keeps pace with the rhythm of the dome. For families, this means a compact, atmospheric outing that elegantly intertwines education and entertainment. Children from about six years onward find a safe access to astronomy, technology, and future issues here.
