A Night at the Planetarium: The Incredible Sun

A Night at the Planetarium: The Incredible Sun

May 7, 2025

An image of the Sun.

Join us Friday, May 9, for this month’s planetarium show: The Incredible Sun!

Every second, the Sun emits a million times more energy than the world consumes every year. Where does such a huge amount of power come from? Discover our star through the breathtaking time lapses. Thanks to the real images taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory and processed by advanced mathematical methods, you will experience the true nature of the Sun and find out that it is far from being as calm as it seems at first glance.

The one-hour event 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 beforehand. See you there!
