Wayne State College’s free planetarium and laser shows will continue Friday and Saturday, March 27-28, in the Fred G. Dale Planetarium. Admission is free and open to the public, but free-will donations are accepted.
The planetarium has been upgraded with a new single-lens ultra-high-def projection system and the immersive Digistar Astronomy software. The planetarium has once again become the most technologically advanced and educationally versatile planetarium in the region.
On Friday, March 27, the planetarium show “Seeing! A Photon’s Journey Through Time, Space, and Mind” will be at 7 p.m., followed by the laser show “Laser Women Who Rock!” at 8 p.m.
On Saturday, March 28, the planetarium show “Edge of Darkness” is at 1 p.m., followed by the laser show “Laser Pink Floyd” at 2 p.m.
The planetarium is located on the lowest level of Wayne State’s Carhart Science Building. Guests should use the southwest doors to enter. Once inside, go to the stairs at the south end of the building and go down to the lowest level. You may also take the elevator. Carhart Science and the planetarium are handicap accessible.
