“Comets & Discovery”

This show is much more than a straight narrative about comets. The show takes the viewer on a journey of discovery. We follow two intrepid comet hunters in first-person. One, a modern explorer. The other, Caroline Herschel. The famous 18th century comet huntress that ruled the skies for many generations. With both, we learn how they each searched the skies, made their discoveries, and reported them for other astronomers to bear out. We also learn about, depending on the century of the observer, what people thought comets were and their importance to them.

This is a Bays Mountain Production! With a captivating script and sumptuous score, this is a great show for the whole family.

We are also using our star projector to illustrate the strange path a comet makes in our skies. The show includes a brief tour of the night sky.
