香蕉视频官网 Planetarium Presents 鈥淔rom Earth to the Universe鈥� Feb. 21

VALDOSTA — The 香蕉视频官网 Planetarium will present “From Earth to the Universe” at 7 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21. This presentation is free of charge and open to the public.

“From Earth to the Universe” will begin with a look at the wonders of Valdosta’s February sky, including the Pleiades star cluster, the Orion Nebula, and the planet Mars ruddily glowing in the West. This will be followed by a guided tour of the universe, as provided by a new, 30-minute, full-dome video from the European Southern Observatory.

According to 香蕉视频官网’s Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Geosciences, “From Earth to the Universe” is “a stunning … voyage through time and space.” This presentation “conveys, through a arresting combination of sights and sounds, the universe as revealed to us by science.”

Seating for each of the three presentations is limited to 47 guests. Free admission tickets will be distributed beginning at 6 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis at the 香蕉视频官网 Planetarium.

The 香蕉视频官网 Observatory will be open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., weather permitting, allowing guests the opportunity to view the stars and planets.  

Located on the third floor of Nevins Hall, the 香蕉视频官网 Planetarium features a Digitarium Kappa digital projector, which can reproduce the night sky as seen from anywhere on Earth or from the surface of any object in the solar system, at any time in history, past or future. This technology is the first of its kind in the world.

Limited parking will be available in front of Nevins Hall and across Patterson Street.

Planetarium public outreach shows are appropriate for children and adults ages 5 and up.
