SUMMARY:Out There–Planetarium Show
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, mankind thought that the Earth was the centre of the Universe. Thanks to our curiosity\, imagination and urge to explore\, we now know that planets like our Earth are nothing special in the cosmos. The Sun is just one ordinary star among hundreds of billions in our galaxy\, the Milky Way. With the world’s most powerful telescopes\, we are able to explore more and more of the Universe. What we have found so far has surpassed even the wildest expectations of scientists as well as authors of science fiction. Most stars have planets — it turns out they are more common than we thought.\nA huge diversity of different worlds is out there\, just waiting to be discovered. \nFREE for members. $10 for non-members. \nRecommended for ages 4+

SUMMARY:Secret of the Cardboard Rocket—Planetarium Show
DESCRIPTION:Adventure through the solar system in the Cardboard Rocket! One of the most popular shows in the fulldome industry world-wide. Travel with two children and their navigator\, the talking astronomy book. Visit the Sun\, the planets\, the Moon and more. The narration track was edited in 2007 for the reclassification of Pluto to dwarf planet. References to “smallest planet\,” “ninth planet\,” and “last planet” were removed and Pluto is simply termed a planet in view of it being a new category of planet. \nBUY TICKETS\nWatch the planetarium show trailer below.

DESCRIPTION:The scene was 74\,000 years ago\, on the island of Sumatra. A volcanic eruption triggered the sudden and violent collapse of a vast regional plateau. Toba\, as the volcano is known today\, was the largest volcanic eruption in the last 25 million years. But Earth has seen far larger. 250 million years ago\, an eruption in what’s now Siberia lasted a million years and was probably responsible for the greatest episode of mass extinction in Earth’s history. \nSupervolcanoes is an immersive planetarium show that looks back at rare classes of eruptions that have marshaled the energy that lurks\, like a sleeping dragon\, beneath the surface of planet Earth. The program moves beyond Earth to explore the impact of giant volcanic eruptions around our solar system. Audiences will fly down to Neptune’s frigid moon Triton\, and onto the ultimate volcanic world: Jupiter’s moon Io. On a visit to a legendary North American hot spot\, Yellowstone National Park\, the film asks: can a supervolcano erupt in our time? \nBUY TICKETS \nWatch planetarium show trailer below.

SUMMARY:Secret of the Cardboard Rocket—Planetarium Show
DESCRIPTION:Adventure through the solar system in the Cardboard Rocket! One of the most popular shows in the fulldome industry world-wide. Travel with two children and their navigator\, the talking astronomy book. Visit the Sun\, the planets\, the Moon and more. The narration track was edited in 2007 for the reclassification of Pluto to dwarf planet. References to “smallest planet\,” “ninth planet\,” and “last planet” were removed and Pluto is simply termed a planet in view of it being a new category of planet. \nBUY TICKETS\nWatch the planetarium show trailer below.

SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Paleoart Exploration & Posters from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Paleoart Exploration & Posters from the Collection”\nJune 9—September 19\, 2025\nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature. Currently on display\, Paleoart Exploration & Posters from the Collection. When art and science work together to create an image of prehistoric life\, it’s called paleoart. It involves using fossil evidence\, geological data\, and scientific understanding to recreate scenes of the past\, bridging the gap between scientific findings and public understanding. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nPaleoart is a volley back and forth between art and science. An artist must visualize their subject based on facts discovered by scientists in the fossil record. A scientist must interpret the fossils and evidence to deduce practical information to give to the artist about what has been discovered. At best they work side by side to blend together the facts\, contemporary accepted interpretations\, and some informed speculation about the details that might not be directly backed by fossil evidence. \nThis process continues forward\, constantly being upended by the latest discoveries. When new fossils are found and prepared it can be like finding a new piece of a puzzle. The new piece is useful in reassessing what has come before. Fossil evidence is a solid piece of information that can serve as a structure holding together multiple pieces of speculation. When new information is discovered some questions are answered\, but new questions might then arise. This is the process of discovery. \nDinosaurs are a scientific discovery that have captured the hearts of fans through the creation of Paleoart. We are fascinated by these prehistoric creatures. Many people have an imaginative longing to understand and to experience dinosaurs somehow. For an artist it can be as simple as making a drawing or painting. \nSometimes dinosaurs feature in our artwork as fantasy scenes. These scenes depict something quite different than Paleoart- fantasy is just that: like a daydream. While Paleoart is an attempt to visualize known facts together with scientifically reasonable speculation\, fantasy art is more open-ended\, more just like wondering “what if?” \nThis exhibition shows the process from fossils\, to models\, to movie posters. Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures have captured our imagination and driven us to want to understand more about their lives a long time ago\, right here on Earth. \nPaleoart Exploration & Posters from the Collection will feature original artworks from local and regional artists including Ephrata painter and professor at PCA&D Jason Ward. Ward will show a variety of works including Triassic Hunters\, a large oil painting featured in Flesk’s Spectrum 25 Illustration Showcase. Also on display will be rarely seen fossils\, models\, and dioramas representing paleoart’s historical beginnings and a substantial collection of printed paleoart works from the end of the twentieth century. \nBUY TICKETS\n \nThe Art Gallery\, located on the third floor\, is always open to the public when the museum is operating\, Wednesday-Sunday at 400 College Ave. Lancaster\, PA. \nInterested in participating in our gallery events\, or purchasing art?

SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Hexapodan Days\, Opening
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Hexapodan Days”\nOctober 2—January 5\, 2026\nOpening: Thursday\, October 2\, from 6pm–8pm\nThe subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition\, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world\, gardens\, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nWhen you look to insects what do you find? When have you felt awe in the presence of Hexapoda? Insects surround us. Whether beneficially pollinating our gardens or spreading disease\, insects leave their mark. They forage\, they swarm\, they camouflage\, they predate. They communicate and learn socially\, they metamorphosize\, they create a hive mind. They help us mark the seasons\, they challenge our picnics\, and inspire us to create science fiction movie monsters. Gardens are habitat for insects. They are mini ecosystems or even wild places within the footprint of our domestic space. From as small as a container to as large as a meadow\, the garden is a refuge for wildlife and a place to contemplate nature. \nArtist Luke Jerram says\, “Referencing the stained glass windows and bell towers of the Duomo in Florence\, Palm Temple is both an experimental optical pavilion and a contemplation space designed for the public to consider the impact humanity is having on nature.” Where do you go to contemplate nature? \nHexapodan Days will feature original artworks from local and regional artists. \nBUY TICKETS \n \nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature.

SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Hexapodan Days\, Opening
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Hexapodan Days”\nOctober 2—January 5\, 2026\nOpening: Thursday\, October 2\, from 6pm–8pm\nThe subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition\, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world\, gardens\, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nWhen you look to insects what do you find? When have you felt awe in the presence of Hexapoda? Insects surround us. Whether beneficially pollinating our gardens or spreading disease\, insects leave their mark. They forage\, they swarm\, they camouflage\, they predate. They communicate and learn socially\, they metamorphosize\, they create a hive mind. They help us mark the seasons\, they challenge our picnics\, and inspire us to create science fiction movie monsters. Gardens are habitat for insects. They are mini ecosystems or even wild places within the footprint of our domestic space. From as small as a container to as large as a meadow\, the garden is a refuge for wildlife and a place to contemplate nature. \nArtist Luke Jerram says\, “Referencing the stained glass windows and bell towers of the Duomo in Florence\, Palm Temple is both an experimental optical pavilion and a contemplation space designed for the public to consider the impact humanity is having on nature.” Where do you go to contemplate nature? \nHexapodan Days will feature original artworks from local and regional artists. \nBUY TICKETS \n \nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature. Located on the third floor\, The Art Gallery is always open to the public when the museum is operating\, Wednesday-Sunday at 400 College Ave. Lancaster\, PA. \nInterested in participating in our gallery events\, or purchasing art?
