Birth of Planet Earth & Earth Day Celebration
April 24 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
$5
Help us celebrate Earth Day at the Wiley Planetarium! We’ll discuss light pollution and how to better preserve one of Earth’s natural resources, the night sky. Then we’ll watch the full dome film ‘Birth of Planet Earth’.
Birth of Planet Earth tells the tale of our planet’s origins. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system’s violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?
