DAWN OF THE SPACE
The William M Thomas Planetarium will be showing “Dawn of the Space Age” on Thursday evening, November 19th from 7:30 to 8:45 PM.

The show will begin with a tour of the evening sky using the planetarium’s Goto Chronos star projector. After that we will be treated to the full-dome show “Dawn of the Space Age” from Mirage3d. This full-dome 41-minute show uses our Spitz SciDome to immerse you in the first 50 years of space exploration, from the launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik, to the magnificent lunar landings and privately operated space flights (much of which is being pioneered just east of us in the Mojave area!). Be immersed with this most accurate historic reconstruction of humanity’s first steps into space.
