"The Making of a Star and Her Entourage" traces the evolution of humankind’s understanding of the universe. Discover the long journey beginning with the Earth-centered model of the universe in which the Sun was considered a planet to our current understanding that the Sun is a star centered in the Solar System and is one of billions that reside in the Milky Way.
"The Making of a Star and Her Entourage" is 30 minutes long and is from Colgate University's Ho Tung Visualization Laboratory and was completely produced by students from Colgate, RIT, & Sherburne-Earlville High School.
All shows will start with a live presentation about the sky and our neighborhood in space and will continue with the full dome show.
