The show weaves a story that looks back at humanity’s long history with a changing night sky.
It explores how our perspective on the dynamic Universe is being revolutionized
with observatories that monitor the night sky for exciting astronomical events that change with time.
They do this by collecting light across many wavelengths as well as
cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves.
Admission is $8 for adults or $7 for Parkland students,
seniors 62 and older, or children 12 and under.
Tickets can be purchased online or are sold at the door
beginning a half-hour before the show.
Members of the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium are admitted for free.
