Planetarium: 'Dynamic Earth,' Feb. 22
by Michelle Saport |
Friday, Feb. 22, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220
"Dynamic Earth" is an immersive full-dome program that explores the inner workings
of Earth's climate engine. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data
and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail
of energy that flows from the sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate:
the atmosphere, oceans and the biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean
and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with
sharks and gigantic whales and fly into roiling volcanoes. Brought to you by the creators
of "Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity."
"Dynamic Earth" is one hour in length, featuring a 25-minute show followed by a presentation by UAA geologist Christian Schardt, Ph.D. Ticket reservations are available online only at UAATix.com. 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.
