SUMMARY:Night Sky Tour– "Follow the Drinking Gourd"
DESCRIPTION:Night Sky Tour\, Featuring “Follow the Drinking Gourd” Presentation\nAges 4+ \nWitness the night sky come to life as you learn about the constellations among the stars\, planets currently visible\, our place in the cosmos\, and more! Featuring a discussion on how the American folk song\, “Follow the Drinking Gourd” decoded the night sky map for fleeing slaves traveling the underground railroad\, in this very special presentation. \n \nAbout “Follow the Drinking Gourd”\nThe American folksong Follow the Drinking Gourd was first published in 1928. The Drinking Gourd song was supposedly used by an Underground Railroad operative to encode escape instructions and a map. These directions then enabled fleeing slaves to make their way north from Mobile\, Alabama to the Ohio River and freedom. Taken at face value\, the “drinking gourd” refers to the hollowed out gourd used by slaves (and other rural Americans) as a water dipper. But here it is used as a code name for the Big Dipper star formation\, which points to Polaris\, the Pole Star\, and North. In the ensuing 80 years\, the Drinking Gourd played an important role in the Civil Rights and folk revival movements of the 1950s and 1960s\, and in contemporary elementary school education. Much of the Drinking Gourd’s enduring appeal derives from its perceived status as a unique\, historical remnant harkening back to the pre-Civil War South – no other such map songs survive. \nFREE for members. $9 for non-members. \nBUY PLANETARIUM TICKETS\nBUY MUSEUM/PLANETARIUM COMBO

SUMMARY:Supervolcanoes–Planetarium Show
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.
