“Perfect Little Planet” isn’t just our new show

…It’s a Showcase of what the updated Hansen Dome Theatre can do!

“Starry Tales” is a Unique Dome Experience

The depictions and stories of the ancient Greek constellations have been presented by planetariums in many different ways. Through the modern visual tools of 3-dimensional scene creation and animation, Kagaya Studios has created a beautiful new way to experience the Greek characters and legends.
“Starry Tales” is very different from the average star show in that [...]

Uncover the mysteries of Black Holes

They prowl the cosmos waiting to ambush their next victim, camouflaged by the energy of a million suns.  These unseen voids can annihilate entire solar systems, and once in their grasp, nothing — not even light — can escape.
Few mysteries in the universe have the power and awe of the black hole. Only now are [...]

Attack of the Space Pirates explores new territory

When I say “territory,” I don’t just mean new destinations in the Milky Way Galaxy!  This is a show that goes into a storyline and visual style unlike anything else we’ve ever done.  It’s not a science documentary-like show, but it’s not a little kids show either.  It’s our first “action/adventure” approach with plenty of [...]

Director’s note: Starting 2010 with new films, more fun

I realize that we’re several months away from International Talk like a Pirate Day (September 19th), but we’re not going to let a calendrical triviality dampen our enthusiasm for our latest dome theatre production, Attack of the Space Pirates.
This new show will be a rip-roaring space adventure – the planetarium’s first original astronomy education production incorporating good guys [...]

Crashing into the moon!

It might sound like the latest disaster movie, but it’s for real.  No, the moon isn’t going to crack apart (like in the movie “The Time Machine.”).  It’s a booster rocket and a space probe that will impact the lunar surface near its south pole on Friday morning, October 9 in search of a precious [...]

“Flight to the Moon” transports audiences for space exploration

Many of us at Clark Planetarium are excited for the launch of NASA’s LRO/LCROSS unmanned space craft on June 17.  Not just because the prospect of returning to the moon to gather in depth data about the moon’s features is interesting, but because our production department has been working closely with NASA on developing a [...]

From ideas to moons… Clark Planetarium underground.

One thing I’ve found surprises a lot of people is that the planetarium produces the majority of the shows shown in the Hansen Digital Dome Theater. Mike mentioned earlier how producing our own shows has led to Clark Planetarium programs being featured in planetariums across the U.S. and around the world.
The process for making [...]
