1/14 7pm Wyoming Skies - What’s up in the sky around Wyoming: stars, constellations, planets, meteor showers, and more.

 

 

1/24 7pm Mars - The red planet is host to many questions, did it used to be like Earth? Did it once harbor life? Could it still support life today? And is it a future home for humans. Landers, rovers, probes, and satellites have returned data to us for decades, and we have more clues everyday.

1/25 2pm One Sky: Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative – organized around themes of "Finding Patterns" and developing tools, or as we say, "To Seek Far." Films: "The Forge of Artemis", "Thunderbird", "Jai Singh’s Dream", "Celestial Canoe", "The Samurai and Stars", "Wayfinders".

1/25 7pm Liquid Sky: Dark Side of the Moon Enjoy a custom playlist of "out-of-this-world" music from top artists 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.

1/28 7pm Wyoming Skies - What’s up in the sky around Wyoming: stars, constellations, planets, meteor showers, and more.

1/31 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!
