"Infinity Express: A 20-Minute Tour of the Universe,"
the latest presentation at the Einstein Planetarium,
carries viewers across the skies and through the galaxy,
from planet Earth through the Milky Way and beyond.
The 20-minute multimedia presentation
incorporates data derived from the latest space
technology, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the
Mars Global Surveyor. On the surface of Mars, viewers
track volcanoes and the Valles Marineris, the largest
canyon in the solar system.
This is not your
father's planetarium; more like the stars for an MTV
generation. Historical clips, simulated blast-offs and
"data storms" at times move at a frenetic clip and make
for a rocket of a ride.
"Infinity Express" will
show daily every 30 minutes beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Admission is $7.50 for adults and $6 for students and
seniors. Tickets are distributed at the Einstein
Planetarium box office on a first-come, first-served
basis.
