On Friday at 7 pm, our fulldome show, narrated by Hayley Atwell, is "Edge of Darkness." This show features amazing scenes of places never before seen gathered by key space missions, including the great cliffs on comet 67P, a close look at the fascinating bright "lights" on Ceres, and the first ever close ups of dwarf binary planet Pluto/Charon and its moons. And this is followed by another rockin' laser show at 8 pm "Laser Fun!"
On Saturday at 1 pm, our fulldome show, narrated by David Tennent, is “Tales of a Time Traveler.” In Tales of a Time Traveler, you will discover that time is not so easily defined. Time is illusive, impossible to hold. It can't be owned. It can't be stopped. Time travel surrounds you – from the biological clock in your brain and the changing shadows on a sundial, to the history of life on Earth. Then the story expands to the lives of stars, the time scale of the Big Bang, and the distortion of time by gravity. And this is followed by the awesome laser show “Women That Rock” at 2 pm.
Prior to both of these fulldome shows is a relaxing tour of a spring night sky. The doors open 20 minutes prior to a planetarium show - come early to claim your seat! Go to www.wsc.edu/planetarium to see the detailed spring schedule.
