Time is running out to see “Áróra” — an award-winning cinematic journey following the Northern Lights, now playing at the South Carolina State Museum through Friday, Feb. 28.

Shown inside the museum’s 55-foot digital dome planetarium, this unforgettable, immersive experience highlights the beauty of the aurora not only above Earth, but also on other planets and moons throughout our galaxy.

Psst... It’s almost guaranteed to be warmer inside the museum than in Iceland (or outer space).
