Oct. 18, 2022–The Bushman Planetarium at Missouri Western State University will present a public showing of “Hubble Vision 2″ and “Sunstruck” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20th. The planetarium is located inside Agenstein Hall, room 147.
Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided incredible images in unprecedented detail to astronomers and made an astonishing array of discoveries. “Hubble Vision 2” takes the best and most exciting Hubble images and woven them into an engaging story of cosmic exploration.
“Sunstruck” allows the audience to travel back to the beginning of time and experience the birth of the sun. Discover how it came to support life, how it threatens life as we know it, and how its energy will one day fade away.
The Bushman Planetarium features a Digistar 4 projection system and a dome that is tilted slightly, rather than directly overhead, making viewing easier. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound system enhances your viewing experience.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children, students, military and seniors. Planetarium tickets must be purchased in advance, either online at missouriwestern.edu/planetarium or in person at Agenstein Hall 140 during regular business hours 8 a.m.-1 p.m and 2-4:30 p.m. Monday- Friday.
