Full-Dome Planetarium Shows!
Saturn: Jewel of the Heavens© and Summer Stargazing
A full-dome digital star show by Clark Planetarium Productions®
It’s one of the most beautiful and magnificent planets in the solar system. And now, using sophisticated spacecraft, scientists have been able to reach out to this great ringed planet, sailing by trillions of chunks of ice that make up its glorious rings. Thanks to new scientific findings, we can present Saturn — its moons, rings and exotic secrets — in the latest 3-D technology filling our entire planetarium dome (no 3-D glasses required)! We’ll also present a 7-minute Summer Stargazing segment — a current “what’s up” in the summer sky!
Showtimes: Fridays through Tuesdays: Noon, 2 and 4 p.m.; plus 6 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays
Tickets: $6 adults / $4 ages 13 and under, and 55 and over
