Images of the Northern Lights in Iceland.

This show was created by some of Iceland’s best-known scientists, writers, photographers, and musicians.

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... Taking a road trip to Columbia is more convenient than traveling to Iceland (or outer space).
