SUMMARY:Dino Planet Ride Experience
DESCRIPTION:Dino Planet is an immersive animated adventure ride for children. It was created by 360art over a period of about ten months in their Chiang Mai (Thailand) production studio. \nOn Dino Planet\, Professor Schwartz has been raising dinosaurs since they were eggs. Now he would like to show you his pre-historic pets. Join the professor for an exciting and educational journey in his trusty (or should that be rusty) vehicle\, Auto. Observe and learn about different types of dinosaurs as the tour winds through majestic tropical forests\, an abandoned launch site and a frozen sled track. The professor is keen to share all he has learned about the creatures in his care. He might need to use his knowledge and your help to evade some of the pets and return everyone home safely. You can be one of the heroes that helps the professor to survive.”

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Cosmic Coda (Come back here for updates on a new date and time)
DESCRIPTION:How do you build a machine to test an idea—Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity—that’s beyond most people’s comprehension? And what does an astrophysicist actually do on a regular Tuesday while probing the depths of space? \nIn Cosmic Coda\, a naive grad student filmmaker asks these questions in 1985—then returns nearly 40 years later to continue the journey\, capturing one of the most profound scientific discoveries of our time as it happens. \nA special screening of the full documentary Cosmic Coda\, this program traces the story of LIGO and the landmark detection of gravitational waves. Together\, participants will be able to explore how our understanding of the universe — and the very nature of scientific discovery — has evolved across generations. \nThis screening of Cosmic Coda is presented to honor the life of MIT physicist Rainer Weiss.

SUMMARY:Treasures of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Since ancient times people have observed distant clouds in the night sky. The invention of the telescope led to the discovery of many more nebulae in the 17th and 18th centuries. Later\, it was shown that many nebulae were actually distant galaxies. Thanks to modern instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope\, we can see the beauty and wonder of the universe in great detail.
