Join us on a captivating journey through time and technology—from the whaling ships of New England to the coal mines of Colorado—as we uncover the fascinating history of energy in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Step inside the Gates Planetarium for a visually stunning, 360-degree immersive experience with the dynamic duo of Dr. KaChun Yu and Bob Raynolds, as they guide you on their journey to seek out these stories of energy production & transmission. With breathtaking flyover visualizations and dynamic storytelling, you’ll explore how energy sources have evolved—from wood and kerosene to today’s smart grids, wind farms, and pipelines. This isn’t ancient history—it’s your daily life. Learn how the systems that power our modern world were built, and what the future of energy means for your home, your community, and the planet.
