Double Feature: The Incredible Sun & One Sky

Join us for our family-friendly Double Features where we combine our favorite fulldome shows.

The Incredible Sun
Every second the Sun emits 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 timelapses. 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 Sun’s activity, pronounced by terrific solar flares, sunspots and coronal mass ejections, influences our planet, by producing impressive auroras but also by damaging distribution networks and communication satellites. Is it a threat to us, then?

One Sky
One Sky Project is an international collaboration focused on increasing understanding about cultural and indigenous astronomy, its historical and modern applications, and how our One Sky connects us all.

We'll visit ancient Greece and find patterns in the Forge of Artemis; measure time with the Diné, or Navajo people to seek the Thunderbird; explore 18th-century India in Jai Singh’s Dream; journey with First People of what is now northern Canada in a Celestial Canoe; visit Japan to find the patterns of the Samurai and Stars; and venture out into the ocean with Hawaiian navigator in Wayfinders.
