Tycho to the Moon
Come and meet Tycho, a dog who doesn't just howl at the moon, but wants to go there! Blast off on an amazing ride into space with Tycho and his young friends Ruby and Michael. Learn about night and day, space travel, the phases of the Moon and features of the lunar surface. Take a close-up look at the Sun, watch the effects of gravity, see the Earth from space and watch meteors shoot across the night sky. Tycho to the Moon will be shown Saturdays only at 10:00 am beginning March 27.
3D Sun
Here comes the Sun! See it up close in dazzling, high-definition 3D. Leading NASA scientists take you behind the scenes to tell the story of the Sun and why a greater understanding of this dynamic star is of crucial importance to us all. Stand above the Arctic circle and witness the most brilliant auroras on Earth. Take a ride on a solar blast from Sun's surface to Earth's Magnetosphere. Witness the most powerful explosions in the solar system - equal to the force of a billion megaton nuclear bombs. And find out how these explosions disrupt electronic equipment, create geomagnetic storms and influence weather patterns on Earth. Experience 3D Sun at the 'Imiloa Planetarium starting Saturday, March 27 at 1:00 pm and 3:00pm (replacing IBEX on the Tues-Sun Planetarium schedule).
