'Dynamic Earth' and 'Stars of the Alaskan Sky' - July 22, 2016
by Michelle Saport |
"Dynamic Earth" Friday, July 22, 6:30 p.m. ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220
"Dynamic Earth" is an immersive full-dome program exploring the inner workings of Earth's climate engine. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans and biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales and fly into roiling volcanoes. Brought to you by the creators of "Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity."
Watch the trailer. Tickets are on sale now at UAATix.com.
"Stars of the Alaskan Sky" Friday, July 22, 8 p.m. ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what you were seeing? What is that bright object on the horizon? Where is the Big Dipper? In a special all-live presentation, Planetarium Manager Omega Smith will take you on a tour of the night sky and show you what you can see during our long winter nights. You'll learn what constellations and planets are visible, as well as how to look for the moon. Best of all, it will be a balmy 68 degrees inside the planetarium.
Tickets are on sale now at UAATix.com.
