Join us for the local premiere of Planet Nine with an optional live night sky orientation after the premiere! This 30-minute high-resolution, full-dome full-surround show Planet Nine explores the outskirts of our Solar System. We are making new discoveries about how our Solar System formed – and what it may be hiding.
Follow Mike Brown and his team at Caltech as they uncover dwarf worlds like the remarkably bright Eris; Haumea, an egg-shaped object rotating incredibly fast; and Sedna, whose orbit takes it deep into the far reaches of the Solar System. Discoveries of new worlds “out there” also give insight into their distances, orbits, and compositions.
In addition, those orbits give intriguing clues to the existence of what may be a very large, so-far-undiscovered world deep in the Kuiper Belt. Join in this fascinating tale of observation, discovery, and analysis - and hear firsthand about the life of a modern planet hunter searching out his prey.
Space is limited, we encourage registering early
