The Georgia Southern Planetarium has released its fall line-up, which will feature not only a variety of shows from Auroras to Aliens but also a new afternoon time slot.
While the popular evening shows will continue this semester, the addition of afternoon showtimes allows a wider range of people to visit the planetarium. The afternoon shows will play at 3pm on specific Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in September, October, and November. This is a perfect option for college students, seniors, homeschool groups, clubs, or even just after-school entertainment.
You can view the full fall schedule here. Several of the shows have not been shown since before the pandemic.
Upcoming Shows:
Experience the Aurora
September 19th at 3pm & 21st at 3pm
$4 | All Ages | Buy Tickets Here
Over seven months in the Arctic Circle, our crews captured timelapse images of the Aurora Borealis with high resolution digital SLR cameras outfitted with fisheye lenses. The results are spectacular. For the first time the aurora has been captured as it was meant to be experienced, as a display that covers the entire sky. This immersive show shares the science behind the aurora and tells the story of our quest to find and photograph the aurora for wraparound display in full dome theaters.
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
September 28th at 6pm & 7pm and September 29th at 6pm & 7pm
$4 | Tickets on Sale 9/18 at Noon
Based on Pink Floyd’s 1973 album of humanitarian, political and philosophical empathy, Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most startling and bizarre laser light shows of all time! Considered by many critics to be the album that brought the commercial breakthrough to Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon offers a mixture of psychedelic, rock and jazz sounds. Its sonic backdrops and atmospheric soundscapes combined with a unique assortment of sound effects yield an emotional resonance.
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon album, making this show a perfect celebration.
