If you’ve ever wondered why the sky is blue or why Mars is red, Friday, June 13, is your lucky day! Mark your calendars for our next planetarium event: Cosmic Colors.

Enjoy a wondrous journey through the world of color and beyond and discover why many things are the color that they are. Tour the interior of a plant leaf, voyage through a human eye, then step into the invisible universe as you investigate x-rays by taking on a monstrous black hole.

Explore the world of infrared in a roaring fire, and even discover what may have been the actual color of a dinosaur. See the amazing rainbow of cosmic light through Cosmic Colors, an original production of the Daniel M. Soref Planetarium in cooperation with the Great Lakes Planetarium Association.

The one-hour show begins at 8 PM in the Nielsen Physics Building Planetarium (Room 108). The show is free and open to all ages, but seating is limited so please sign up ahead of time.
