From the earliest days, people around the world have looked to the heavens for navigation, timekeeping, and a sense of shared identity. The One Sky Project is an international collaboration which created a series of short full dome planetarium films, each representing the perspective of a different culture from around the globe. The show includes a story about Orion from the Greeks, the Thunderbird from the Navajo and the great Celestial Canoe from the Innu people of Northern Canada. The show also explores how Hawaiians used the sky as a compass for their voyages throughout the Pacific Ocean.
The show begins with an in-depth and fun look at the variety of objects found in the night sky such as stars, planets, constellations, deep sky objects and more.
Doors open at 5:15 pm
Due to the very dark environment of the planetarium, shows are recommended for ages 6 and up. Please plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the show begins as the presentation starts promptly. There is NO LATE ADMITTANCE due to the dark conditions in the planetarium. All ticket sales are final.
