Be immersed in the cosmos and travel 3D style at the ‘Imiloa’s presentation of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe on January 4.

Tour the universe from the comfort of the planetarium’s plush seating and learn what astronomers are discovering using observatories around the world, including our island’s observatories atop Mauna Kea.

The hour-long program will discuss and display the galaxy and other large scale structures.
