EVENING EXCLUSIVE PLANETARIUM SHOW SCHEDULE
Extreme Planets
For centuries, humanity has wondered whether we are alone in the Universe. With the discovery in 1995 of the first planet orbiting another star, we now know that planets are not unique to our own Solar System. In fact, these “extrasolar” planets now appear to be quite common. From water worlds to molten landscapes, inhabitable moons to planets with multiple suns, these exotic worlds aren’t just science fiction anymore!
Run Time: 40 minutes
Age appropriateness: General audiences (not recommended for children under 5)

This is your show! Do you know why Pluto is not a planet anymore? Are you able to identify that bright object you see after sunset? Join us for a unique planetarium show that is built around your questions and interests, where we will answer these and any other astronomy-related questions YOU may have. So bring your questions, sit back and enjoy!
