A Sunny Family Moment Under the Dome

With Someone is Eating the Sun, the S-Planetarium Augsburg invites you on a child-friendly journey into a celestial event that fascinates and inspires wonder. On June 28, 2026 at 1:30 PM, families will experience a picture story about the solar eclipse – narrated in an understandable way, atmospherically staged, and perfect for young explorers aged 5 and up.

When the Sky Suddenly Becomes Darker

The content sounds like a small adventure from farm life, but develops a special power in the planetarium dome: A hen notices that a piece of the sun is missing. It gets darker in the middle of the day, the animals become restless, and the question about what is happening in the sky comes to the fore. This creates a lively event experience full of curiosity, gentle tension, and an audience atmosphere that captivates children immediately.

Child-Friendly, Vivid, and Educationally Strong

The program is designed as an animated picture story and intentionally not as a fully animated 360-degree film. This aligns with the target group approach of the institution: Children under 6 years are introduced to astronomy in an age-appropriate manner, without being visually overwhelmed. Thus, the presentation combines entertainment, knowledge transfer, and emotional closeness into a convincing outing for families, kindergartens, and young planetarium guests.

The S-Planetarium as an Atmospheric Learning Place

The S-Planetarium Augsburg is considered an extracurricular learning place with extensive experience in conveying astronomical content. The dome, the comfortable seats, and the good visibility from every spot ensure a concentrated yet relaxed experience. The facility offers barrier-free access, two wheelchair spaces, and a location with direct access to the shared entrance of the planetarium, natural history museum, and Augusta garage.

Practical Information for Your Visit

The public presentation on June 28, 2026, starts at 1:30 PM. Advance ticket reservation or early ticket purchase is recommended. The regular admission for children and teenagers is according to the price overview from April 1, 2026, at 7.00 euros for the reduced rate. Therefore, it is worth checking the available seats ahead of time for the family outing.

Conclusion: Someone is Eating the Sun combines child-friendly storytelling with real celestial knowledge and creates a charming experience for curious families. Anyone wishing to experience a solar eclipse, a planetarium, and a lovingly told science story live should not miss this date in Augsburg.
