Thank you for your interest in booking a Mobile Planetarium through The Living Arts and Science Center.

We have updated our packages and are offering more in the mobile planetarium experience! We have exciting shows and fun crafts all ready to come and meet your students.

Please see the additional attachments for more information and pricing.

Please reach out to ghoss@lasclex.org for further questions and booking opportunities.

We operate the mobile planetarium within a 75 mile radius of The Living Arts & Science Center. Please send us a request at least 2 weeks before requested date of booking.

We will not book mobile planetarium visits during the months of June, July, and August.

We are only able to offer the following shows for our Mobile Planetarium Experience:

-One World One Sky: (Suggested for Pre-K - 1st grade)

Explore the night sky with Big Bird, Elmo, and a friend from China named Hu Hu Zhu! In this planetarium show featuring beloved characters from Sesame Street, you'll learn about the Big Dipper, the North Star, the Sun and the Moon. It's the perfect introduction to space for our youngest astronomers.

- Earth, Moon, Sun: (Suggested for K-5th grade)

This planetarium show explores the relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun with the help of Coyote, an amusing character adapted from Native American oral traditions who has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors.

His confusion about the universe makes viewers think about how the Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system. Native American stories are used throughout the show to help distinguish between myths and science.

- Habitat Earth: (Suggested for 3rd- 8th grade)

Plunge below the ocean’s surface to explore the dynamic relationships found in deep ocean ecosystems; dig beneath the forest floor to see how Earth’s tallest trees rely on tiny fungi to survive; and soar to new heights to witness the intricate intersection between human and ecological networks.

-Dino Prophecy: (Suggested for K-5th grade)

Long before dinosaurs' massive extinction 65 million years ago, many individual species simply disappeared. Visit dinosaur graveyards, study their bones, and reconstruct how these creatures lived and died to solve four famous cold cases from the age of the dinosaurs in DINOSAUR PROPHECY.

- Hot Energetic Universe: (Suggested for 8th-12th grade)

High Energy Astrophysics plays a key role in understanding the universe. These radiations reveal the processes in the hot and violent Universe. This science also probes hot gas in clusters of galaxies, which are the most massive objects in the Universe. It also probes hot gas accreting around supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. Finally, high energy radiation provides important information about our own Galaxy, neutron stars, supernova remnants and stars like our Sun which emit copious amounts of high energy radiation.

- Earth's Wild Ride: (Suggested for K-5th grade)

EARTH'S WILD RIDE is like many tales shared by grandparents over the centuries, except "the old country" is really another planet, always visible from the moon base, but totally unlike the granddaughter's world. While learning about eclipses, the ice age, Earth's water cycle and differences between the Earth and Moon, the audience is taken on a roller-coaster-like ride through canyons of raging rivers and hot flowing lava. Adventure and appreciation for home fill this 20-minute journey back to the Earth.

- Flight Adventure: (Suggested for K- 8th grade)

Discover the science of flight through the eyes of a young girl and her grandfather as they explore how birds, kites, planes and models fly. Learn about the history and future plans of flight and how NASA is discovering new and safer ways to travel with the help of future engineers and aviators - like YOU!

- Lars the Polar Bear: (Suggested for K-5th grade)

Explore the changing Arctic landscape with a curious little polar bear! This show offers a charming story about the adventures of Lars and his friends, and explores the habitats of their real-life counterparts in the Arctic. What happens when a frisky little polar bear named Lars ventures out on the first day of spring? He explores his Arctic home, meets new friends, and saves some endangered whales.

- Perfect Little Planet: (Suggested for K-5th grade)

Imagine the ultimate space vacation. Discover our solar system through a different set of eyes – a family from another star system seeking the perfect vacation spot. Fly over the surface of Pluto, our best known Dwarf Planet. Dive over the ice cliffs of Miranda.

Sail through the rings of Saturn. Feel the lightning storms at Jupiter. And walk on the surface of Mars. Which destination would you choose? This is the solar system journey for space travelers of all ages.

- Two Small Pieces of Glass: (Suggested for 5th- 12th grade)

Follow two students as they interact with a female astronomer at a local star party. Along the way, the students learn the history of the telescope from Galileo’s modifications to a child’s spyglass — using two small pieces of glass — to the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. Aiming to engage and appeal to audiences of all ages, the show explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years.
