Now, each show will be available across two days, instead of one, including being presented on both the first Tuesday and second Thursday of each month.

The 2016 season will get under way in January with a "2016 Sky Preview," which will preview the interesting events in the night sky that stargazers will be able to look forward to seeing in the upcoming year. The remaining planetarium shows for this season include:
