3pm - Season of Light
This presentation traces the history and development of the world’s most endearing holiday customs, all of which involve lighting up the winter season — from the burning Yule log, sparkling Christmas tree lights and candles in windows, to the lighting of luminarias in the American Southwest and the traditional ritual of the Hanukkah Menorah.

4pm - Let it Snow
A holiday music show celebrating the winter season. Artistic impressions of various popular winter holiday music come to life on the dome transporting the entire family to a magical wonderland of music and light.

2pm - Legends of the Night Sky: Orion
Legends of the Night Sky: Orion is the world’s first traditionally animated fulldome movie, taking an imaginative look at the stories and legends about Orion, the great hunter of the winter sky. It’s ideally suited for family audiences and younger viewers, and a terrific complement to a live planetarium tour of the winter sky. Greek mythology will never seem the same once you’ve seen this fun-filled production.

3pm - Jack Frost and the Skies of Winter
Jack Frost teaches the children and the audience about stars and winter constellation lore, and facts about star color and temperature, as well as an open-minded and imaginative approach to better understand the stellar pictures.

4pm - One Sky Project
This fulldome feature is an anthology of six short films representing the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe – organized around themes of “Finding Patterns” and developing tools, or as we say, “To Seek Far.”
