The film follows a curious and adventurous Dolichorhynchops – familiarly known as a ‘dolly’ – as she travels through the most dangerous oceans in history. Along the way, she encounters long-necked plesiosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea monster of all– the mosasaur.
This cutting-edge production works with data generated by supercomputer simulations to bring the current science of black holes to the dome screen. It includes immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Preceded by brief star talk.
1:00 p.m. & 3:00 p.m.
A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.
