In recent years with the launch of the Kepler Space Telescope and improvement in planet detection techniques there has been an explosion in the number of planets discovered outside our solar system. For the first time ever we are able to explore questions such as “are there any habitable planets out there?”, and “where should we look for life?”. This planetarium show will explain where the best chances currently lie for finding life elsewhere in the universe and highlight some of the noteworthy exoplanets discovered to date.

Tickets to public shows must be purchased at the door.  Reservations are not required.  Tickets are $5 per person and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.  Tickets for all shows go on sale at 6:30, but can be purchased immediately prior to each show as well, subject to availability.
