The Bryan-Gooding Planetarium at MOSH presents Planetarium Night Live, a program that allows you to expand your mind and explore the cosmos through space simulations, storytelling, interactive demonstrations, and immersive, live-narrated video projection under the Planetarium’s 60-foot dome. New insights await!Â
Trace the lives of stars as they grow from wee, tantrum-throwing babies, to old, bloated, gassy, red versions of themselves. You’ll need to make room in your mind for deep time, solar system-sterilizing explosions, and ecosystems on the scale of galaxies.
Doors to the Museum open at 6:30 PM. Show starts at 7 PM.
