Planetarium Program: Mayan Archeoastronomy and the Wandering North Star
Take an amazing visual to ancient Mayan temples and explore the science and mythology which informed the Mayan understanding of the cosmos.
The night is an eye, both dark and bright! It forces us to look up and ask ourselves questions about our place in the Cosmos, our origins, and what is beyond the horizon.
Using spectacular visuals and stunning sound, tour six ancient Mayan temples. Along the way, dive into Mayan knowledge of the sky exploring the importance of the movements of the Sun, the Moon, and Venus. Find Balam the Jaguar constellation and explore how the Mayan’s created a calendar more accurate than the one we use in modern times. Journey back in time to explore how the Mayan’s used the sky to understand their world and their place in it! After the fulldome program, discover how even the North Star is not a constant but 'wanders' over thousands of years of time with a live starball presentation from our Planetarium Educator.
Program length is one hour.
Please arrive at least 5…

QUEEN Laser Music Experience
Listen and watch as Queen's epic songs come to life choreographed to a mesmerizing laser light display.
Start with a layer of heavy metal, add a dash of glam, a pinch of astrophysics, and sprinkle liberally with theatrics. Only THEN will you get a sense of what makes up the legendary Queen, the band who are often touted as being the most educated rock band to ever live. Freddy Mercury put it best when he said, “The whole point of Queen was to be original. We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules, It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.”
Now, EXPERIENCE Queen's music as you never have before. Program length is ~45 minutes and the playlist is found below.

Planetarium Program: Mayan Archeoastronomy and the Wandering North Star
Take an amazing visual to ancient Mayan temples and explore the science and mythology which informed the Mayan understanding of the cosmos.
The night is an eye, both dark and bright! It forces us to look up and ask ourselves questions about our place in the Cosmos, our origins, and what is beyond the horizon.
Using spectacular visuals and stunning sound, tour six ancient Mayan temples. Along the way, dive into Mayan knowledge of the sky exploring the importance of the movements of the Sun, the Moon, and Venus. Find Balam the Jaguar constellation and explore how the Mayan’s created a calendar more accurate than the one we use in modern times. Journey back in time to explore how the Mayan’s used the sky to understand their world and their place in it! After the fulldome program, discover how even the North Star is not a constant but 'wanders' over thousands of years of time with a live starball presentation from our Planetarium Educator.
Program length is one hour.
Please arrive at least 5…
