On Friday, November 28 the Columbia Basin College – Bechtel National Planetarium in 2600 N. 20th Avenue Pasco, Washington will be having an event open to everyone.
About Dynamic Earth Event
Dynamic Earth explores the inner workings of Earth's climate system. With visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the interlocking systems that shape our climate.
About the Bechtel National Planetarium
Located at CBC, the planetarium provides life-like, high-definition images and sound using the most state-of-the-art projection system in the Pacific Northwest. The 36-foot panoramic viewing dome can simulate a 3-D effect (without the need for strange glasses)!
A typical hour-long show includes a 20-30 minute live presentation and a 25-30 minute full-dome movie. Presentation topics may include solar system or constellation tours, what's visible in the current night sky, and astronomy in the news.
Tickets and memberships can be purchased online prior to show time. If seats are available, you may obtain tickets at the door.
