Supervolcanoes

Jan. 17, 2015, 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, January 17th, TWO SHOWS: 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm:

Screening of the full-dome digital program Supervolcanoes, followed by an Interactive Star Talk (for adults & children five and older).

Supervolcanoes, narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, is an immersive planetarium show that examines massive volcanic eruptions that have marshaled the energy that lurks, like a sleeping dragon, beneath the surface of planet Earth. The program moves beyond Earth to explore some of the most violent volcanic eruptions around our solar system. Audiences will fly down to Neptune's frigid moon Triton, and onto the ultimate volcanic world: Jupiter's moon Io. On a visit to a legendary North American hot spot, Yellowstone National Park, the film asks: can a supervolcano erupt in our time? (Produced by Spitz Creative Media.)

Running Time: 24 minutes.

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.
