BIG things happening at the Appold Planetarium this fall
This fall, "big" things are happening at the Lourdes College Appold Planetarium as it welcomes a new Coordinator and presents its fall program titled BIG.
BIG is a fulldome show that takes a quirky and imaginative look at the size and scale of our universe. With its lighthearted storytelling style, 3D graphics, clay-animated characters and a surround musical score, BIG brings a really big subject down to earth.
BIG shows at 7:30 p.m. on the following days:
September 6 and 20
October 4 and 18
November 1 and 15.
Visit www.spitzinc.com/fulldome_shows/show_big/ to view a sneak preview. Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for children under 12 and for Lourdes College students presenting their student ID.
Shows at the Appold Planetarium are limited to 60 and often sell out. To purchase tickets or for more information, contact Dr. Laura Megeath, new Coordinator of the Appold Planetarium, at 419-517-8897 or email lmegeath@lourdes.edu.
