Get your tickets now for the special debut of a new planetarium show, "Earthquake: Evidence of a Restless Planet," with special guest speaker Peter Haussler, an earthquake expert from the United Stated Geological Survey.

A sweeping geological journey, "Earthquake" explores the forces that transform the surface of our planet.  After a stunning flight over the San Andreas Fault, audiences travel back in time to experience San Francisco's infamous 1906 earthquake. Data-driven visualizations illustrate Earth's story, revealing how subtle motions and sudden ruptures have shaped our planet over eons and how geological activity influences the course of human history. Finally, see how scientists and engineers help society prepare for a safer future.

"Earthquake" is 23 minutes in length, followed by a special presentation by Peter Haussler. Tickets are available at UAATix.com.
