This page is focused on the Planetarium found on the island because it seems to be one of those most applicable features, however it is worth noting that the island offers many other exhibits as well. Regarding the planetarium, the landmark should teleport you right outside a dome. Inside the dome is the planetarium show which goes through a myriad features of the night sky. There is narration for the whole show and each feature that is talked about is indicated by a red arrow on the sky map. It seems like it would be easy to share this with your classes without them needing to actually be in world.

The planetarium however is only part of the Space Destiny Island. If you are interested in exploring other space science related exhibits, the island offers many other features as well. Right next to the planetarium is a road on a cliff side that has a bunch of really neat exhibits on Venus colonoization. Most of the exhibits are interactive and there is an abundance of information for each one that can be found on the acompanying signs. There is also a section devoted to lunar agriculture and what appears to be a Mars exhibit under construction. Definitely give this site a visit if you are teaching astronomy or space science in a middle school class.
