Description:
Join the Radford University Planetarium for a special Saturday morning Kids Show entitled "It's About Time".

Journey into Space Some day our children may travel to orbit in a Space Elevator. Some day we may use a Time Telescope to watch the Big Bang, the birth and death of a star, or an explosion on the Sun. Explore these wonderful inventions from the "science future" as you discover the many clocks that keep time in the Universe!

It's About Time takes you up from the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro to an orbiting geosynchronous space station. As the Earth gets smaller below you, your clocks stay the same, and we view the changes that days and seasons cause on earth.

At the top, look at the wonders of the universe through a major telescope, then see it as it really is today by viewing through a wormhole that shortens the distance that light must travel to get to you.

It's About Time talks about the cycles that rule our planet and our lives, and ends with the entire time since the Big Bang compressed into a single day.

These shows are targeted to younger audiences and include a tour of the nighttime sky for kids and adults, along with an exciting full-dome multimedia show.

The RU Planetarium is located on the ground floor of Curie Hall in Room 43.

Due to the construction of the new Center for the Sciences building, please enter the conjoined buildings Reed and Curie Halls through the Reed Hall entrance, on the main campus side. Go to the back of the building, take the elevator down one floor, and the planetarium will be the second door to your right after you get off the elevator.
