Join the Carmel High School Planetarium Club and learn about the planet’s incredible origins with “The Birth of Planet Earth” and Irish actor Richard Dormer.
Scientists now believe that the Milky Way galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. This planetarium show employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today, including:
- How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth?
- What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?
Come to the Carmel Planetarium to investigate constellations and bright stars of early Autumn. Attendees will explore some of the stars and deep sky objects inside selected constellation boundaries. The planetarium star projector will be used to simulate the night sky locally and then you will be immersed into an environment as if there was no light pollution. After the night sky portion of the show will be the presentation of the new program “The Birth of Planet Earth.” This will be a fun and educational journey for the entire family.
The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 17 in the Carmel High School Planetarium. (Running time: approximately 45 minutes.) Enter through the main entrance of the school on Main Street, walk past the Dale Graham Auditorium, and turn right. Doors will open 30 minutes before show time. No one will be admitted after the program begins. Children aged 12 years and under should be accompanied by an adult.
Tickets are available at this link. Tickets for adults are $5 and $3 for children, senior citizens, and CHS students.
