Original Planetarium Shows Made in Alaska
香港六合彩资料鈥檚 scientists are telling Alaska鈥檚 most fascinating stories through several original planetarium films, including the popular River of Bears, which brings you face to face with brown bears in the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary. We have recently completed filming "A Place Like No Other" which highlights the remote places and iconic animals of Alaska.

About the Planetarium
The 香港六合彩资料 Planetarium and Visualization Theater offers an immersive fulldome experience with an all-digital projection system by SSIA Technologies, powered by DigitalSky Dark Matter. Two high-powered Sony GTZ380 laser projectors illuminate the dome with over 12 million pixels, creating a razor-sharp, bright, and colorful image. The dome is 10-meters (33 feet) in diameter and the theater has 62 seats (with tablet arms for notetaking) and three ADA spots. The fulldome system can be operated in a "live" mode, enabling the operator to fly you through the Universe in real time. We also offer fulldome movies on a variety of subjects. (Please check our show listing to see which shows are currently being offered). The planetarium also has a 5.1 surround sound system with a subwoofer for a seat-shaking experience.
