SUMMARY:Supermassive Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:Supermassive Black Holes:  Leading scientists in observational and theoretical studies of black holes and galaxies\, industrial experts in cutting-edge big technologies\, and professionals in science dissemination have been brought together to set up research projects which will combine the latest state-of-the-art observations\, numerical simulations and innovative analytic tools to compare theory with observation\, and shed light on the physics of black hole formation in the context of galaxy evolution. This planetarium show presents the environments of the black holes in an impressive and understandable way to the audience.

SUMMARY:One Sky
DESCRIPTION:One Sky: This is the fulldome feature version of the One Sky Project short films. Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative – organized around themes of “Finding Patterns” and developing tools\, or as we say\, “To Seek Far.”

SUMMARY:Dark Matter Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter Mystery: What makes the Universe look the way it looks today? Researchers all around the world try to answer these questions. We know today that approximately a quarter of the Universe is filled with a mysterious glue: Dark Matter. We know that it is out there. But we have no idea what it is made out of. This fulldome planetarium show takes you on the biggest quest of contemporary astrophysics. You will see why we know that Dark Matter exists\, and how this search is one of the most challenging and exciting searches science has to offer. Join the scientists on their hunt for Dark Matter with experiments in space and deep underground.
