LIGHT YEARS FROM ANDROMEDA

A traditional planetarium show combining astronomy, history and anthropology.

Andromeda Galaxy

A beam of light leaves the Andromeda Galaxy 2.2 million years ago.  During its 2.2 million year journey toward Earth, humanity developed from infancy to the modern age.   How did our view on the Universe evolve? How did our mythology yield to our scientific understanding of nature?

Join us for this intriguing odyssey through time and space as we observe humanity's ascent and the voyage of a single light beam from another galaxy.
