Mesa Community College: “Messengers of Time & Space” Planetarium Show
Messengers of Time and Space is an immersive, full-length 4K NSF NOIRLab-produced planetarium show made possible through a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation called Gemini in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy (GEMMA), which is aimed at advancing the leadership role of the International Gemini Observatory in the area of multi-messenger astronomy. The planetarium show highlights how Gemini will work together with observatories that monitor the night sky for exciting astronomical events that change with time, such as the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Showings of “Messengers of Time & Space” are 30 minutes in length.
Guests with ticket reservations should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to show time in order to check in and ensure a place in the reserve line for seating. Reserved ticket check-in is available at the table in front of the planetarium entrance.
Once the show begins, there will be no late seating due to the dark interior of the planetarium.
