Robot Explorers Planetarium Show
07 Feb |
When: Friday February 7th, 07:30 pm - 08:20 pm Where: Science Building, Planetarium J100 Address: 1700 College Crescent, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 Description: Robot Explorers-Near the end of the twentieth century, we began launching unmanned probes into the far reaches of the solar system. What they discovered was amazing and in some cases unexpected. Now after dozens of probes have been deployed, the exploration continues. New space missions are underway, and many of these robust spacecraft are still operational, beaming their knowledge back to Earth every day. We will pay tribute to these robots who have explored in our stead and experience what they have taught us about our solar system. Narrated by Brent Spiner of TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation. This event is open to the public. The total presentation will be approximately 50 minutes long. Each performance also includes a review of the night sky. Reservations are required! There will be, however, a very limited number of standby tickets available at the planetarium on the day of the show. You must arrive at least 15 minutes early to guarantee your reservation. Latecomers will not be admitted. Park in the lot closest to the Advanced Technology Center (BLDG H). To view the location of the buildings on the Virginia Beach Campus, please visit here. |
