Adult $8 Kids $6

On Thursday evening, April 21st from 7:30 to 8:30 PM, the William M Thomas Planetarium will show “Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth’s Climate Engine” from the creators of the popular “Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity”.

The one-hour show will begin with a short tour of the evening sky using the planetarium’s Goto Chronos star projector followed by the 24-minute all-dome presentation from Denver Museum of Natural Science called “Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth’s Climate Engine” using our Spitz SciDome projector. Dynamic Earth, narrated by Liam Neeson, explores the inner workings of Earth’s climate system. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate: the atmosphere, oceans, and the biosphere. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, and fly into roiling volcanoes. [A visualization (as opposed to a Hollywood-type movie) uses only real data and computer simulations of real processes, not some artist’s imagination.]
