A planetarium show is the one astronomy outing that clouds and city lights cannot cancel. Most public shows run 30 to 50 minutes; live shows, where a presenter flies the sky to tonight's planets and constellations, are the best preparation for a night at a dark site. Shows often sell out on weekends and school holidays.

Yongcheng Science & Technology Museum has a 12 m (39 ft) dome

That makes it a mid-size dome, typical of science museums and large universities. The largest planetarium domes in the world are about 35 m across; a classroom dome is 5 to 8 m.
