Prairie Skies

A live-narrated tour of the wonders of tonight's sky, accompanied by some of the legendary stories of the ancient sky. Find out what constellations and planets are visible tonight and how to find them. This show is updated seasonally and is intended for all ages.   Most Friday nights at 7pm!  

The Planets

Join us for a breathtaking tour of our own planetary system, including some of the latest discoveries.  See how our solar system may have formed and then visit planets in other star systems far beyond our own.  The show originally written and distributed by the Southeastern Planetarium Association and is narrated by Kate Mulgrew of “Star Trek:  Voyager” fame.   Be sure to see this fulldome conversion of a very visual show!

One World, One Sky:  Big Bird's Adventure

Explore the night sky with our friends from Sesame StreetTM.  Join Big Bird, Elmo, and Hu Hu Zhu as they take an imaginary trip to the Moon.  See how the Moon is different from the Earth and learn how to find the Big Dipper and North Star from your backyard.  This interactive show for young children was co-produced by the Adler Planetarium, Sesame Workshop, the Beijing Planetarium, and Liberty Science Center.   "One World, One Sky" comes to us through a generous grant from the PNC Foundation and their "Grow Up Great" program.
