6:00 pm Birth of Planet Earth All Dome Planetarium Show
Narrated by Richard Dormer. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?
We will also review the night sky. To make reservations for this show, click here.
7:15 pm: Distant Words-Alien Life? All-Dome Planetarium Show
This is a beautiful planetarium film exploring one of the most enduring questions of humankind: are we alone? For millennia, our ancestors watched the starts, questioning the origin and nature of what they saw. Still today, we ask these questions, knowing that the Universe is a vast place filled with billions and billions of starts and planets, but yet, Earth is the only planet we know for sure to be inhabited.
