Join Annie, Max and their robot friend for a whirlwind adventure. It’s surprising what a new angle on the world can do. They examine the apparent path of the Sun and Earth’s tilt to find out about the day-night cycle and why it is different at different places on Earth and at different times of the year. They understand how the seasons are opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and are caused by two factors — Earth’s tilt and our planet’s path around the Sun.
Our shows are open to the public in the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium. The planetarium is located on the second floor of the Science Building, by the Foucault pendulum, right above the east main entrance. Direct access is obtained through the east entrance.
*Recommended for all families, ages 5-12
