Upcoming shows at the UAA planetarium"Stars of the Alaskan Sky: Summer Edition" Friday, June 22, 6:30 p.m. ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220

Given the distinct lack of stars this time of year, we'll explain in this all-live presentation why the Alaska summer days are so long and how this relates to the solstices and equinoxes.

"Cosmic Collisions" Friday, June 22, 8 p.m. ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220

Don't miss the monthly recurrence of the planetarium's current blockbuster, "Cosmic Collisions." This show features not only the ground-shaking impacts of rock on rock, but also the beauty of both the tiny collisions that create the aurora and the grand interactions that merge galaxies. The planetarium is only licensed to show it for a few more months, so come now while you still can!

Tickets are still available to all of these shows. Reserve your seats now by visiting UAATix.com. Find more information about these shows and others at the planetarium website. You can also connect with the planetarium on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-the-minute information about seating availability.
