SUMMARY:Laser Pink Floyd: The Wall
DESCRIPTION:Truly the mother of all laser-light shows and a cult favorite throughout the world!\n\n\n\nConsidered to be one of the best classic rock albums of all time\, The Wall is best considered as a continual story rather than a collection of individual songs. It tells the tale of a rock star named Pink and his downward spiral into madness. To the listener\, and indeed many critics\, The Wall is a gripping and spellbinding musical journey – beautiful\, haunting\, powerful and thought provoking. It is a timeless classic\, and one of Pink Floyd’s best\, becoming the group’s second best seller behind Dark Side of the Moon. Now coupled with spectacular and mesmerizing laser art\, Pink Floyd’s classic 1979 epic about personal struggle takes on a unique look\, weaving its story in one of the most popular laser shows ever produced! Visitors will become lost and spellbound as their senses join this timeless journey. \n\n\nLaser light shows set to rock and popular music will be offered this spring in the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium.  The shows will be offered at 7\, 8\, 9 and 10 p.m. nightly from April 2-6\, 2025. Tickets are available only at the door\, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on show days. \nTickets are $7 for adults\, $6 for students and $5 for students with UW-Stevens Point I.D. Tickets are valid for day purchased only. \n

SUMMARY:Exoplanets - Discovering New Worlds
DESCRIPTION:The modern hunt for exoplanets is an adventure that began in the 20th century. It continues today as astronomers use both ground- and space-based observatories to find planets around other stars. Ultimately\, this great age of discovery could lead to the detection of life beyond our solar system. This show tells the story of our search for alien worlds. \nHow do we find distant worlds around other suns? EXOPLANETS — Discovering New Worlds describes the two main methods astronomers use: the radial velocity method studies minute “wobbles” of stars\, and the transit method detects eclipsing planets from flickers in a star’s brightness. \nSo far\, astronomers have found thousands of worlds\, ranging from hot Jupiters to super-Earths. Discovering planets is one thing; finding life on those worlds is the next challenge. \nOur shows are open to the public in the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium. The planetarium is located on the second floor of the Science Building\, by the Foucault pendulum\, right above the east main entrance.

SUMMARY:Arcs to Auroras
DESCRIPTION:The full dome film “Arcs To Auroras” shows the first aurora seen simultaneously from the ground and from the International Space Station.

It also explains how scientists use the colors of the aurora to understand the energy of the particles that create it. \nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Starlight
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years we have looked to the stars at night in wonder and awe. Their mysteries have inspired curiosity across all cultures and civilizations. Starlight is told through the eyes of Margaret\, as she steps back in time to relive childhood fears of the dark that awoke her curiosity about the night sky. \nStarlight features stunning visualizations that take audiences from Earth to the stars\, through nebulae and galaxies\, and on trips through the hearts of stars and supernova explosions. It also presents Christiaan Huygens’s first attempts to study starlight and introduces the concept of spectroscopy — all as part of Margaret’s personal story about exploring the sky. \nJoin Margaret as she takes you on an out-of-this-world journey to discover constellations and ancient cultures\, the birth and death of a star and the inner workings of our Sun. \n*Recommended for all audiences \nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Imagine the Moon
DESCRIPTION:The Moon has been a source of wonder for all of human history. Each discovery has brought new opportunities to contemplate and imagine\, until\, driven by dreams\, we left Earth and went there in the amazing journeys that culminated in astronauts walking on the Moon. People have imagined the Moon as a glowing disk in the sky\, a destination in space\, and a world that shares its origin with the Earth. The power of human imagination continues to inspire our relationship with the Moon as our partner in space and companion in our sky. \nOur shows are open to the public in the Allen F.

SUMMARY:Earth\, Moon & Sun
DESCRIPTION:This planetarium show explores the relationship between Earth\, Moon and Sun with the help of Coyote\, an amusing character adapted from Native American oral traditions. Coyote has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors. His confusion about the universe makes viewers think about how Earth\, Moon and Sun work together as a system and learn to distinguish between myths and science. \nLearn the basics of fusion and solar energy and why the Sun rises and sets. Examine the Moon’s orbit\, craters\, phases\, and eclipses. You’ll even take a look at past and future space travel to our Moon … and beyond! \n\n\nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Fragile Planet - Celebrating Earth Day/Week
DESCRIPTION:Fragile Planet gives audiences an astronaut’s view of Earth\, highlighting Earths unique regions. The journey then continues to the Moon\, Mars\, and beyond the Milky Way to search for habitats that might host extraterrestrial life. The show’s theme — that Earth is the only known haven for life\, and thus is important to protect — echoes the themes of biodiversity and sustainability. \nThe visual foundation of the show lies in scientific visualization. From the high-resolution satellite imagery of Earth\, the positions of galaxies more than 50 million light years distant\, the three-dimensional terrain of Valles Marineris on Mars to the locations of extrasolar planetary systems in interstellar space\, everything audiences will see in Fragile Planet has a basis in astronomers’ best understanding of the Universe. \nOur shows are open to the public in the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium. The planetarium is located on the second floor of the Science Building\, by the Foucault pendulum\, right above the east main entrance. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Direct access is obtained through the east entrance. \nPlanetarium programs for groups (schools\, scouts\, organizations\, etc.) can be arranged during our academic year.  Call 715-346-2120 or email physastr@uwsp.edu \nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Habitat Earth
DESCRIPTION:Narrated by Frances McDormand\, Habitat Earth plunges below the ocean’s surface to explore the dynamic relationships found in deep ocean ecosystems.
