Film Club: Solar Superstorms

This show was rescheduled from 30th April 2025.

Film Club is the ultimate planetarium experience - enjoy both a live night sky update from our presenter and a stunning full dome film. All for the price of a single show!

A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, Solar Superstorms is a major production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections.
