“From Your Backyard to the Deep Universe”
Presented live in the Wells Fargo CineDome & Sweetman Planetarium, this interactive experience is led by Dr. Ken Murphy, professor of physics at Southwest Minnesota State University.
Travel from familiar night skies to the farthest reaches of space.

From there, venture beyond our cosmic neighborhood to distant galaxies and the edge of the observable universe.
