9/22 7pm Keeping Time - In our modern world cellphones and computers are sent radio messages from atomic clocks to maintain time, but this was not always the case. Our ancestors were able to predict eclipses, the seasons, and the motion of the planets with primitive instruments and observations long before the invention of mechanical clocks, telescopes or other modern tools. Learn how the stars, planets, and Sun all served to calibrate the clocks of ancient peoples through to today.

9/23 2pm Cosmic Mashups: Gravity, Galaxies, and Supermassive Black Holes Supermassive black holes are found in most galaxies and we're beginning to uncover how the merging of galaxies activate galactic centers.

9/23 7pm Liquid Sky: Lo-Fi Enjoy a custom playlist of "out-of-this-world" music from top artists in genres of rock, indie, pop, electronic, and more in 5.1 surround as the 4k resolution planetarium sky melts and becomes a canvas of color, patterns, and movement with our cutting-edge music visualization software and live VJ talent.

9/26 7pm Wyoming Skies What’s up in the sky around Wyoming: stars, constellations, planets, meteor showers, and more.

9/29 7pm Yellowstone to Enceladus - Wyoming's Yellowstone area was designated the first National Park over a hundred years ago, as a natural preserve and natural curiosity. Today millions flock to it's awesome displays of volcanic power as half the worlds known geysers lie within the park. A billion miles away on an icy moon of Saturn a similar power lies beneath the surface causing fantastic ice plumes to reach into space. Yellowstone's boiling and acidic hot pools harbor extreme forms of life, could Enceladus also? Despite the charm of Yellowstone National Park, is it really a ticking bomb? And what could we do to mitigate a super-volcano eruption? See Yellowstone park in full-dome and virtual reality photography!

9/30 2pm 5000 Eyes: Mapping the Universe with DESI The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is creating the most detailed map of our nearby universe. Installed on the Mayall telescope on Kitt Peak in Southern Arizona, DESI's 5000 independently operated robots can measure the light from thousands of galaxies at once. Join us as we explore the science, instrument, and people behind this global endeavor.

10/10 7pm Wyoming Skies What’s up in the sky around Wyoming: stars, constellations, planets, meteor showers, and more.

10/13 7pm Great American Eclipses! Get ready for the next eclipses (10/14/2023 annular and 04/08/2024 total) and relive and celebrate the eclipse of 2017 that passed through Wyoming. We'll be sharing full-dome images of the eclipse captured from the ground and air, and explore the science of eclipses.

10/14 2pm Forward! To the Moon launches us on a journey beyond the Earth towards a sustainable future in space. NASA’s 21st century Artemis program, named after the Greek moon Goddess and twin of Apollo, is the next step in our mission to explore the universe and land the first woman and person of color on the surface of the Moon.

10/20 7pm Science of Sci-Fi: Horror in Space - We'll be analyzing and reviewing one of the most memorable, intense, and frightening sci-fi films of all time, Alien (R - 1979). We don't recommend this show for children, please come to any of our other programs for fun for the whole family!

10/21 2pm Dark Matter Mystery Dark Matter is a theoretical form of invisible mass, which is believed to be present in galaxies, but has never been seen or detected. You've probably heard of it before, as it makes up a large part of the physics you find in textbooks. But how can something that's never been seen have so much scientific confidence? Furthermore, why can't we see dark matter to begin with? And if we can't see it, how do we know that it is really there? And if it's not there, what are the alternative ideas? These are the questions we will be aiming to answer, as we dive into the Dark Matter mystery.
