Earth, Moon, & Sun - 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

Based on the popular Friday Night Fractals program hosted by Dr. Jonathan Wolfe, Fractal Zooms! offers educators a new tool for teaching math and related sciences in the dome. Each fractal tells the story of the process that created it—whether the erosion of a canyon, the evolution of a galaxy, or the computation of an equation.
