SUMMARY:The Universe in a Room: The Story of The Planetarium
DESCRIPTION:Travel back 100 years in this full dome planetarium show about this wonderful invention! \nThroughout history\, humanity has been fascinated by the night sky\, and various mechanical models were built\, ultimately leading to a magical innovation\, to dynamically represent the starry sky. \nIn ancient Greece\, celestial globes\, orreries\, and astrolabes were created to simulate the motions of stars and planets. How have these models contributed to the development of the planetariums of today? Following the notes of the original inventors\, you can re-live the challenges and triumphs behind the birth of the modern planetarium. \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. Please visit this website for more details about parking options\, rules\, and regulations.

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:Free Speech on Campus
DESCRIPTION:What constitutes free speech? \nThis event will celebrate Constitution Day and focus on current topics in free speech on campus. There will be short presentations on civil dialogue and the basic principles of freedom of expression on college campuses. Attendees will be seated in small groups for discussion and civil dialogue. Join us for a discussion of some of the most pressing questions centered on free speech rights in the United States. \nThe Symposium on Free Speech is presented by the UWSP College of Letters and Science. The session will be moderated by Department of Political Science Professor John Blakeman. \nWhen: \n5:30- 7:00 pm \nConstitution Day\, Sept 17\, 2024 \nWhere: \nDreyfus University Center\, Laird Room \nWhether you are a student\, faculty\, or community member\, come and share your input in our free speech discussion.

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. Viewers will learn how the Earth’s magnetic field protects our planet from energetic particles from the Sun and galaxy\, and how the magnetic field also protects the water in our atmosphere from being swept away by the solar wind. \nThe film gives the history and legends of the aurora\, and explains the rays\, folds\, and curtains. 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. Please visit this website for more details about parking options\, rules\, and regulations.

SUMMARY:Lars\, the Little Polar Bear
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a frisky little polar bear named Lars ventures out on the first day of spring? He explores his Arctic home\, meets new friends\, and saves some endangered whales. Children will learn about how real polar bears live\, why they have small ears and tails\, what they eat\, and how the melting of Arctic sea ice is affecting their habitat. \nLars the Little Polar Bear is the beloved star of a children’s book “Little Polar Bear and the Whales” authored by Hans de Beer in 2008.  A short star talk section introduces the Arctic night sky\, the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor\, as well as Polaris\, the North Star\, and the star patterns of the Big and Little Dipper. \nIt’s the perfect basis for a fulldome show to teach young children about nature\, climate change — and a little astronomy. \n*Recommended for School Audiences/Families. Begins with a 3:00 p.m. book reading in Room A201\, next to the Planetarium. \nSunday Story Time at 3:00 pm\, Planetarium Show 3:40 pm -4:10 pm \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.
