PUBLIC Shows
Our shows last approximately 45-60 minutes.
All shows are free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
15-20 minute introduction simulating what's up in the sky tonight and/or
discussion of a topic relevant to the film, then we play one of our 20-40 minute
full dome feature films and answer your burning questions! After the show, our
telescope assistants invite you to the rooftop telescope for live viewing of the
night sky, weather permitting. Check out our
Plan Your Visit page for information about parking and accessibility.
All visitors must follow
WVU Safety Guidelines
.
If you need to cancel your reservation, please let do so on the
Eventbrite page so we may open remaining seats to others. Doors open approximately
15 minutes before the show. Please note that we aim to start each presentation
promptly on time. Once the show starts and the doors are closed, we do not permit
additional guests to enter for both safety concerns and to not interrupt the show
in progress. Thank you for your understanding.
