GALILEO & NEWTON plus FULL DOME SHOW “TWO SMALL PIECES OF GLASS”

May 19, 2018, 7:30 p.m.

Step into our astronomical time machine and spend the evening with the Masters of the Telescope...Galileo and Newton! Listen, first hand, to the stories that led to the great contributions of these two famed scientists. Aerospace analyst Raphael Perrino plays Galileo Galilei and educator Dean Howarth portrays Sir Isaac.

Then, learn the history of the telescope, from Galileo’s modifications to a child's spyglass - using two small pieces of glass - to the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. The show explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years.

Total Duration: 90 minutes; Target Audience: All Ages.

Doors open: 7 p.m. Show begins: 7:30 p.m.

Our capacity is 58 seats. We set aside 20 seats to accommodate those who arrive without a reservation, so if the show is sold out you can still try to attend by arriving close to 7 p.m. However, although we will do whatever we can to seat all comers, there is no guarantee of admission without a reservation.
