PLANETARIUM FALL SHOWS
One World, One Sky is a 27-minute full dome planetarium show that follows Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Elmo as they explore the night sky with Hu Hu Zhu, a Muppet from Zhima Jie, the Chinese co-production of Sesame Street. Together, they take an imaginary trip from Sesame Street to the moon, where they discover how different it is from Earth. At the end of the show, Big Bird, Elmo, and Hu Hu Zhu pick a friendship star to remind them that no matter how far apart they might be, they can always look into the night sky and cherish their shared memories.
One World, One Sky is a production of Adler Planetarium, Sesame Workshop, Beijing Planetarium, and Liberty Science Center and was produced with major support from the National Science Foundation. One World, One Sky is distributed by Loch Ness Productions.
Show time: 12 PM suitable for all ages.
Saturdays on November 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30

Cosmic Mashups Supermassive black holes are found in the center of most galaxies. Sagittarius A* is the one at the center of the Milky Way and is four million times the mass of the Sun. Scientists are beginning to uncover how galaxy collisions, and the subsequent merging of galaxies, activates galactic centers to produce these monstrous black holes. Join Astrophysical & Planetary Sciences Professor, Dr. Julie Comerford, and former graduate student Dr. Becky Nevin, as they share current research into the evolution and development of supermassive black holes.
AND
Aurora Storm A spellbinding short film about the Northern Lights, describing the cultural significance of the aurora and the science behind this beautiful phenomenon. With quotes from journals of past Arctic explorers and the words of the indigenous people, we discover how humans living beneath these undulating lights are inspired by what they see. The two narrators of the film are Athabascan Alaska natives.
Show time: 2PM, ages 10+, 32 total minutes for both.
