Public Planetarium Show
Birth of Planet Earth
Showtimes at 5:30PM AND 6:30PM
Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. Birth of Planet Earth employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?
Join us for a first look at this brand new full-dome film, filled with never-before-seen animations that illustrate our evolving understanding of the Solar System and our own origins. Plus, one of our experienced planetarium educators will take you on a live exploration of our current night sky.
