Our hour-long presentation consists of two portions: first, a live "sky tonight" presentation, where you will learn about what will be in the skies that evening, including stars, constellations, and planets.
The second portion is a full-dome film experience:
NEW FOR 2024! MAGNETISM is a full dome planetarium show that demonstrates how the Earth's magnetic field protects our planet from energetic particles from the Sun and galaxy, and how the magnetic field also protects the water in our atmosphere from being swept away by the solar wind. It shows the first aurora seen simultaneously from the ground and from the ISS, and tells about the MMS mission (Magnetospheric Multiscale) and its quest to understand the magnetic connection between the Earth and the Sun. Recommended for general audiences.
