About 400 years ago, in Padua, Italy, Galileo observed the sky with a new instrument, the telescope, and our view of the world was transformed. Now, follow the young astronomer Ariane in the show “Cosmic Origins” to discover how astronomers are continuing Galileo’s quest to understand the Universe.

Ariane takes us on a journey from ALMA’s unique site high in Chile’s Atacama region, through our Milky Way and onward to some of the most distant galaxies, seen as they were in the early Universe. Closer to home, we learn about the formation of stars and planets, and how ALMA will help us answer questions about our origins.

This show is recommended for grades 5+ (ages 10+).

The Westminster College Planetarium, Society for Physics Students, and the Harms Center for the Environment welcome the community to an enchanting evening of stargazing on September 27, 2024. The event will take place at the Field Station, from 7:00 – 10:00 PM, where attendees will have the opportunity to explore the night sky as it darkens and the stars emerge.

Participants will be guided through an exploration of the celestial wonders of the night, locating the North Star, Saturn, and constellations from the Ursa Major, Perseus, Zodiac, and Hercules families. The event will also include hands-on demonstrations with astronomy tools such as telescopes and star maps, providing a comprehensive learning experience for star enthusiasts of all levels.

“Observing the night sky in real time adds an extra layer of experience for people who have attended planetarium shows and observed the stars by looking on the dome,” notes Charlie Barefield, Planetarium Assistant and senior English major.

In the event of poor weather conditions, the stargazing night will be rescheduled to October 4, 2024.

For more information or to confirm the event in case of weather changes, please contact Dr. Helen Boylan, Faculty Fellow for Community Engagement and professor of Environmental Science, at boylanhm@westminster.edu or 724-946-6293.

Journey back in time to see the night sky 2000 years ago. What was it that brought the Magi from the East to a little town in Palestine? Who were the wise men? Were there just three? Did they come from Persia, Babylon or Ethiopia? Did they follow a visible star to Jerusalem? Was Jesus born 2005 years ago? Is December 25th his real birthday?

The Star of Bethlehem takes you to the time of mystery, in a planetarium show produced by the Houston Museum of Natural Science that answers these questions and more, as audiences search for a celestial object that could have led the wise men to the Christ child. A planet was called a "wandering star." A meteor was a "shooting star." And a comet was a "hairy star" because its tail looked like a beard. These are all candidates in our search. See the new research of a triple conjunction that may have been the sign in the East of the new Messiah.

This show is recommended for grades 1+ (ages 5+).
