Out There - The Quest for Extrasolar Worlds
2025-06-11 19:00 - 20:00 | UWSP | Science Building, 2001 Fourth Avenue, Stevens Point, WI, 54481, United States
For thousands of years, humankind thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Thanks to our curiosity, imagination and urge to explore, we now know that planets like our Earth are not special in the cosmos. The Sun is just one ordinary star among hundreds of billions in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
With the world’s most powerful telescopes, we explore more and more of the Universe. What we have found so far has surpassed even the wildest expectations of scientists as well as authors of science fiction. Most stars have planets — it turns out they are more common than we thought.
A huge diversity of worlds is Out There, just waiting to be discovered.

Participants will learn basic media analysis, camera techniques, and sound design, and even have the chance to experiment with special effects and the magic of editing. Through engaging activities, teamwork, and creativity, campers will gain confidence as both filmmakers and storytellers. The week will culminate in a film festival, where families can watch the campers’ creations on the big screen. No prior experience needed—just bring your imagination and get ready to make movie magic!​​

Unveiling the Invisible Universe
2025-07-07 19:00 - 20:00 | UWSP | Science Building, 2001 Fourth Avenue, Stevens Point, WI, 54481, United States
Winner of Best Full Dome Film at the 2021 Baikal International Film Festival, Unveiling the Invisible Universe uses vivid, dynamic imagery to survey 13 billion light years of space observation from Galileo to the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope.
For thousands of years we have observed light coming from the night sky with our own eyes. In the beginning of the 17th century, the invention of the telescope by Galileo revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. Then, finally in the 20th century with the advent of rockets, it became possible to go above the earth’s atmosphere and observe X-ray, gamma ray radiation, neutrinos, cosmic rays and more that opened a new window into astrophysics. Don’t miss this breathtaking film and come explore the cosmos as revealed by all its different messengers.
This feature is especially good for our guests aged 10 and older. *Recommended for all audiences
