Today's Events
NoonMatinee
Enjoy an old or new show in the afternoon with our matinee presentation. Check the schedule for show titles.
1:00 pmBlack Holes
The original Clark Planetarium production, Black Holes takes you on a journey through one of the most mystifying, awe-inspiring phenomena in the universe: a black hole. Where do they come from? Where do they go? How do we find them? Is there one on Earth's horizon? Discover the answers as we explore Black Holes. Narrated by John de Lancie.
2:30 pmBad Astronomy
Based on the popular book and Web site of the same name, Bad Astronomy offers a unique and fun approach to learning about the cosmos. Join the "Bad Astronomer", Phil Plait, as he takes a critical look at popular myths and misconceptions to show audiences how science can be used to evaluate questionable claims. Bad Astronomy will interest both new and experienced astronomers of all ages as it examines bad science wherever it can be found.
3:30 pmStars of the Pharaohs
Travel to ancient Egypt to see how science was used to tell time, make a workable calendar, and align huge buildings. You'll learn about the connection the ancient Egyptians felt with the stars and various astronomical phenomena. And thanks to the time Digital Theater's production team spent on location in Egypt taking photographs and measurements, you'll see some of the most spectacular temples and tombs of the ancient world recreated in their original splendor.
