Planetarium show Saturday to explore the wonders of the universe

A public show in the Spanel Planetarium at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, will explore the wonders of the universe.

The show will feature a tour of the night sky, a question-and-answer session and the feature-length full-dome movie "Dynamic Earth."

The award-winning film explores the inner workings of Earth's climate system. Audiences will ride along on swirling ocean and wind currents, dive into the heart of a monster hurricane, come face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales and fly into roiling volcanoes.

Tickets for the public shows are $10, available for purchase at the Performing Arts Center. For more information about the show and the facility, visit wwu.edu/planetarium or send an email to planetarium@wwu.edu. The next showing after this weekend will be 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18.
