Barton Planetarium Movie Night

The Barton Planetarium will host nine free evening programs this fall, Barton including an all-new line-up of movies never shown at the Barton Planetarium before. The following programs will run from 7-8 p.m. on Monday evenings: Oct. 22 – Light!: Begin the evening with “Seeing! A photon’s journey across space, time and mind” as viewers will follow the journey of a single photon as it is produced in a distant star, before traveling across the vast expanse of space to land on someone's retina. This full-dome planetarium show explores some of the fascinating processes of the cosmos, from astrophysics to the biology of the eye and brain. Funded through a generous grant from ZEISS, the show is narrated by astronomer and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
