UAA Planetarium: 'Nanocam: a trip into biodiversity,' Jan. 20
by Jamie Gonzales |
Friday, Jan. 20, 8-9 p.m.
ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220
The show that shrinks you down to the size of an insect and flies you through the
eye of a needle.
"Nanocam: a trip into biodiversity" is a 28-minute show followed by a presentation on the biological uses of electron
microscopes. It's a microscopic joyride into the five kingdoms of life. With the latest
3D animation technology and based on real electron microscope imagery, this show offers
a unique, motivating, didactic and funny approach to biology that has never been seen
like this before.
Join Hugo and Marcos as they rush to finish an assignment before heading off to the
big game. But when they find the Nanocam microscope simulator online, their tedious
task turns into a fascinating voyage of discovery into worlds they'd never dreamed
of before.
Ticket reservations are available online only. Remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the door on
the day of the show. The planetarium will open for seating 30 minutes before the start
of each show. You must be in the theater 10 minutes before the show starts. Reserved
seats will be released after this time to stand-by customers. There is no entry after
the show begins.
Shows are free for current UAA Planetarium members, $10 for adults, $5 for UAA students
(with a valid ID), and $5 for children (4-18 years). Because the theater is dark and
can be scary for young children, we do not recommend bringing kids under the age of
4.
