Come learn about the next frontier in Human Space exploration in this Ingram Planetarium original production in celebration of NASA’s newest member in the Mars Rover family, Perseverance.
Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, this show 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. This movie is followed by a star show.
Ever wonder “what’s up” in the night sky? Explore the planets, constellations, and other celestial events happening in the sky tonight. This live program focuses on what you can see if you stepped outside and looked up to the heavens. Is there a meteor shower? Can you see the International Space Station? Find out how to identify these objects. This program will also comment on the latest breaking news in astronomy.

Alaska is a place like no other. For many people, a trip to Alaska is a life-long dream. People who live in Alaska depend on and protect an enduring way of life. But there are places so remote, so wild, that few Alaskans have ever gone. Here in the planetarium, we’re going to take you to these places, to the remote wilderness to see iconic animals and landscapes that define the Last Frontier, places that make Alaska…Alaska.
