Tomorrow is the premiere of a new show at Rauch Planetarium called The Planets.
The Rauch Planetarium at the University of Louisville will have a
special celebration for the premiere of its new show, “The Planets.”
The 37-minute show provides an in-depth look at each planet and
features images from NASA and the Hubble Telescope. Actress Kate
Mulgrew, best known for her role in “Star Trek: Voyager,” narrates the
show. It’s content is geared to middle and high school students.Originally produced by the Southeast Planetarium Association, “The
Planets” was “enhanced, updated and specifically designed for our
dome,” said Rauch Planetarium Director Rachel Connolly.“It will be shown on a three-projection screen, designed to make the
audience feel as though they are traveling through space,” she added.
For opening day tomorrow all tickets will be $5, after that adult tickets are $7, children and seniors are $5. Showtimes are 11AM, noon, 1PM, 2PM and 3PM. “Family friendly activities such as a
solar system walk and solar observing” are also on the agenda.
I bet poor Pluto is totally absent in The Planets show. Poor, poor Pluto.
