On Friday, Nov. 17 visitors to the URI Planetarium will have the opportunity to peer deep into space through the eyes of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and travel back billions of years in time to witness the birth of the universe.
During the presentation the audience will witness the formation of galaxies and explore some of the most wondrous nebulae and astronomical structures yet discovered. The trip continues flying deep into our own Milky Way Galaxy and returning home to Earth on a spectacular tour through the solar system.
Wonders of the Universe, a planetarium program for audiences of all ages, will be shown at the URI Planetarium, Upper College Road, on the URI campus, at 6 p.m. Admission, to benefit the URI Planetarium Memorial fund, is $5. This program will be preceded by a six-minute award-winning presentation on light pollution, “Losing the Dark,” and will be followed by a live segment showing the skies above the URI campus.
