Are you a faculty member interested in showing one of our fulldome movies to your class but would like to view it yourself first? Are you curious what our planetarium can do for your group, event, or class? Or are you someone just interested in learning more about science through one of our entertaining and educational fulldome shows? If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, our Fulldome Friday Series is for you!<\/p>\n

Shows will generally begin with a brief orientation to the night sky and objects currently visible from HPU that time of year using our Starry Night software. Then we will screen one of our short (20-30 min) fulldome movies<\/a> from our library.\u00a0 The entire experience will last approximately 40 min<\/strong>. Due to safety concerns associated with our low lighting conditions, we discourage people from entering or exiting the planetarium once the show has started, so please arrive on time.<\/p>\n

At this time, Fulldome Friday shows are only open to HPU students, faculty, and staff. <\/strong>We look forward to seeing you under the dome!<\/p>\n

Reservations are not required<\/h4>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

Over the summer we will have our Summer Star Show Series<\/em>, a spin-off of our usual Fulldome Friday<\/em> shows! For the following Fridays at 12:30pm<\/b>, join us to learn about the summer night sky and watch one of our star-related fulldome movies.<\/span><\/p>\n
