NEW Summer Planetarium Shows

Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope

Mondays through Fridays: July 6 through August 2, 2009

Saturdays and Sundays: August 8 through August 30, 2009

Four hundred years ago, a simple adjustment to a child's spy glass revealed for the first time an infinite and perplexing universe to our eyes and our imaginations. Join us today as the world's greatest telescopes, born of that serendipitous moment, gaze ever further into the distant past-and into our future.

Cosmic Collisions
Saturdays and Sundays: Saturday, July 11 through Sunday, August 2, 2009

Take a thrilling trip through space and time—well beyond the calm face of the night sky—to explore cosmic collisions, hypersonic impacts that drive the dynamic and continuing evolution of the universe. The new show explores the full range of space collisions, past, present, and future. Show produced by the American Museum of Natural History. 

Field Trip to the Moon
Mondays through Fridays, Monday, August 3 through Friday, August 28, 2009

Mission Control … we're ready for lift-off. Take a virtual journey to the Moon created using NASA engineering models and scientific data. Like NASA's astronauts, come face-to-face with the challenges and excitement of traveling through space to land on the Moon. Along the way, discover some of the differences between the Earth and the Moon and what makes our planet unique and habitable.
