WSU Planetarium: The Sun

About the event

A docent will point out night sky highlights and upcoming astronomical events. This is followed by a fulldome video presentation.

The Sun: Our Living Star is a fulldome planetarium show produced by European Southern Observatory. After a historical overview, the audience will see images from ground-based and space-based telescopes and explore the sun’s power over life on earth. Explore the past and future predicted evolution of the sun, and even sample a little bit of spectroscopy, which measures the chemical elements present in our nearest and most familiar star.
