- **Event Name**: UNK Public Planetarium Show: "From Spiral to Elliptical: A Galaxy Tour"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Our observations of the universe around us have led to the discovery of numerous galaxies. We will explore the diverse shapes and lives of these galaxies. Through images provided by modern telescopes and computer simulations we will explore how spiral arms form, why massive ellipticals glow with ancient stars, and where irregular galaxies fit into the cosmic story. We will witness galactic collisions, star formation, and the slow transformations driven by gravity and time.


Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 1/30 at https://www.ticketleap.events/events/unk-planetarium
