Seeing! A Photon's Journey Across Space, Time and Mind
Planetarium Showing beginning 7/7 until 9/14 at 1:00 PM
Show Description: Follow the journey of a single photon as it is produced in a distant star, before travelling across the vast expanse of space to land on someone's retina. This full-dome planetarium show explores some of the fascinating processes of the cosmos, from astrophysics to the biology of the eye and brain. Funded through a generous grant from ZEISS, the show is narrated by astronomer and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
Run Time: 27 Minutes.
Please note before purchasing your planetarium tickets:
Planetarium tickets are an add-on to general admission tickets and won’t be accepted without proof of general admission tickets.
Planetarium show ticket sales stop 10 minutes before our shows are scheduled to begin. This ensures everyone gets to the planetarium theater in time for the show to begin.
If you pre-purchase tickets to a show, you must still check in at the front desk when you arrive to receive your admittance sticker.
Planetarium ticket holders are expected to be present outside the theater doors 5-10 minutes before each show. We need to create a very dark environment for you to see the stars, so once the audience is seated, the show begins, and no late seating is allowed.
Early departure is permitted, but re-entry is not. The Discovery Center is not responsible for refunding tickets due to late arrivals or early departures.
Planetarium shows run approximately 25-45 minutes.
The planetarium show schedule is subject to change without notice.
