Emporia State University’s Peterson Planetarium invites the public to explore the beauty and mystery of the night sky with its showing of “From Earth to the Universe” this May. The 30-minute presentation will take viewers on a voyage through space and time, revealing the sparkling sights and sounds uncovered by science. The show will explore the history of astronomy, the invention of the telescope and today’s technology that allows us to probe the birthplaces and burial grounds of stars beyond the Milky Way and the myriad of galaxies in the universe.
Join Peterson Planetarium director Mark Brown for an exciting live night sky presentation before the show as he introduces the audience to the stars, constellations and planets over Emporia.
The screening of “From Earth to the Universe” is believed to be the first public showing of the film at ESU.
