Seeing!

Narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, this show takes visitors on an amazing journey of a single photon as it is produced in a distant star, before traveling across the vast expanse of space to land on someone’s retina. This fulldome planetarium show explores some of the fascinating processes of the cosmos, from astrophysics to the biology of the eye and the brain.

Layered Experience: Pairs well with Bright Light (Class) and Harmonies in Color (Art Exhibition Guided Tour or Exploration).

Seeing! is preceded by a live, presenter-led tour of the current seasonal night sky.

Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope

Follow the history of the telescope, from Galileo’s modifications to the spy glass - using two small pieces of glass - to the launch of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. Your students will learn how telescopes work and how the largest observatories in the world use these amazing instruments to explore the mysteries of the universe.

Layered Experience: Pairs well with The Art of Astronomy (Class) and Solar System Gallery (Guided Tour) or Astronomy (Guided Exploration).
