Messengers of Time and Space is a new 4K planetarium show that was produced locally by NSF NOIRLab, which is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The production of this film was made possible through a NSF grant called Gemini in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy (GEMMA). The show is available in fulldome format and can be downloaded online. Also available are a trailer, script, and educational materials.

About the event

A docent will point out night sky highlights and upcoming astronomical events. This is followed by the fulldome video presentation “Messengers of Time and Space.”

An introduction to one of the most exciting innovations in astronomy: so-called multimessenger astronomy, where astronomers attempt to combine information from telescopes at many wavelengths and then add information from neutrino emission and gravitational wave detections.
