    October Planetarium Show
    Small World, Big Universe: An Astronaut's Perspective

    October 1, 8, 15, 22, 25 & 29 – (Tuesdays and the 4th Friday)

    7:00 PM

    Our October planetarium show Small World, Big Universe: An Astronaut’s Perspective is about the “overview effect”, the phenomenon astronauts experience as they leave earth and look back down at our planet from space. Almost everyone, both astronauts and civilian space travelers, reports feeling in awe of our small world in a vast universe. They gain a new appreciation for both the fragility of our planet and the collective unity we experience together on Earth. The show combines the history of space exploration and appreciation for the beauty of our planet.

    Tickets are $5/person for non-members and FREE for members

    ***NEW HOURS***

    BASF Planetarium is NOW OPEN to the public from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Tuesday through Friday! Come check out our planetarium lobby, computers, displays and dome area.
