“Did An Asteroid Really Kill The Dinosaurs?”

5/3/22 – 8/31/22

Did a space rock six miles wide slam into the Earth 66 million years ago and wipe out 75 percent of all living species at that time, including the dinosaurs? Explore these impacts and cosmic collisions across the Solar System in this dynamic show. The show includes footage from the first iridium layer found in Gubbio, Italy.

This program was produced by the Milwaukee Public Museum.
A tour of our current night sky using our stunning Carl Zeiss Starmaster ZKP-4 star projector is included.

Show length ~40 min.

Planetarium theaters are unique, educational spaces and are far different than a movie theater. As such, we have some rules that are common for the planetarium theater community that we do enforce.

Food, drinks, gum, and candy are not allowed in the theater.

Also, due to safety measures, we do not allow anyone to enter the theater once the doors have closed. The theater is extremely dark inside. If you leave during a program, you cannot re-enter.

Thank you for your understanding!
