The Planetarium will feature the show "Are We Alone?”
Current research tells us that there is on average one planet for every star in our galaxy….that’s 200 billion planets! Even more exciting, 1 out of every 5 of those planets are thought to be Earth-like. Exciting examples include: “The Magnificent Seven”, a system of seven Earth-like planets orbiting around a single star, called TRAPPIST-1…(at least three of those planets are very likely to have liquid water on the surface); and “Proxima b”, an Earth-like planet going around the closest star to Earth, only 4 light years away! New NASA missions like TESS and JWST launching Spring 2018 and 2019 will likely yield incredible new discoveries…possibly even find extraterrestrial life!
There will be three showings: 11 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Each show is scheduled for 35 minutes.
Pick up your entry ticket by the Planetarium doors. Capacity is 60 persons per show.
