This stunning, 30-minute voyage through time and space presents the Universe revealed to us by science, through an arresting combination of imagery and sound. Before the show, an astronomy educator gives a live, 15-minute star talk.
Dave Bush, technical and production coordinator for the Planetarium, said, “From Earth to the Universe is a wonderfully produced planetarium show that has a little something for everybody. Viewers learn about the fascinating history of astronomy, discover what it’s like to be inside a large observatory with giant telescopes, and travel to the edge of the known cosmos. With beautiful space imagery and music, this program will absolutely captivate audiences.”
That imagery – including video shot from the International Space Station – will be enhanced by the Planetarium’s advanced Konica Minolta GeminiStarIII Projection system with full-dome video and surround-sound.
