A new fulldome planetarium show, SUNSTRUCK, is making its way to the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center, where it will be introduced for the first time on Wednesday, April 1.
The new show will give the audience a chance to visit the distant future, allowing the discovery of the sun’s connection to the universe’s cosmic cycle of life and death.
Heliophysics is the main component of the SUNSTRUCK planetarium show. It will include information on the sun, parts and layers, space weather, and its impact on Earth.
Producers of the show used information from multiple NASA heliophysics missions, including the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, and the Solar Dynamic Observatory.
