SUMMARY:Dinosaurs at Dusk
DESCRIPTION:You’ll travel back in time to meet the pterosaurs and the ancestors of modern-day birds: the feathered dinosaurs. Lucy and her father navigate from continent to continent\, looking for clues about the origins of flight. When time runs out they experience first-hand the cataclysmic “last day” of the dinosaurs.

SUMMARY:Meditations on Perihelion
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a live performance of original electronic music and immersive visuals on the planetarium’s dome. \nThe “Meditations” are a personal exploration of the human experience of the passage of time during the various cycles that the Earth moves through over time. The performance invites contemplation of the wonder and enormity of the cosmos and attempts to highlight the connections between art and science. \nFor some in the audience it can be a meditation\, for others an active listening and perceptual experience. This event invites listeners to sink and settle into an evolving musical and visual journey. \nThe music\, conceived and performed by Tom Luther\, is inspired and informed by the changes in the Earth’s orbit from a single year to the large scale 100\,000 year cycle. While falling into the general category of “Ambient” or “Space” music\, Luther has drawn on his experience as an improviser\, composer\, and pianist to extend at the conventions of the genre. \nThis year’s program is focused on the idea of the slow change of polar orientation caused by the tilt of the earth and the effect on its orbit. Luther explores offset patterns of rhythm and shifting melodies to reflect the slow change of direction.

SUMMARY:Back To The Moon For Good
DESCRIPTION:The show opens with the first era of space exploration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We see what that era of landers and orbiters taught us about our nearest neighbor including the discovery of the Moon’s origin\, composition\, structure and the accessibility of raw materials on its surface.

SUMMARY:Hot and Energetic Universe
DESCRIPTION:High Energy Astrophysics plays a key role in understanding the universe. These radiations reveal the processes in the hot and violent Universe. This science probes hot gas in clusters of galaxies and accreting around supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. Learn about our galaxy\, neutron stars\, supernova remnants and stars like our Sun.

SUMMARY:Cycle/Losing the Dark
DESCRIPTION:Starry skies are a vanishing treasure because light pollution is washing away our view of the cosmos. It not only threatens astronomy\, it disrupts wildlife\, and affects human health. The yellow glows over cities and towns — seen so clearly from space — are testament to the billions spent in wasted energy from lighting up the sky.
