Live Planetarium Under L’Hemisfèric’s Dome

Every summer, Les Nocturnes d’Estiu transforms the dome of L’Hemisfèric into a window to the universe. This event, held from late June to September, combines fulldome projections—immersive images covering the entire surface of the hall—with live explanations from a planetarium expert. The result is an astronomical journey that lets you explore the night sky, planets, and phenomena like the 2026 total solar eclipse.
