Description
Enjoy the Season of Light Show at the Pensacola State College Planetarium! Season of Light is an elegant program about the coldest and darkest of seasons — a time which holds some of the warmest and brightest celebrations of the year. This presentation traces the history and development of many of the world’s most endearing holiday customs, all of which involve lighting up the winter season. The show also recounts the historical, religious, and cultural rituals practiced during the time of winter solstice — not only Christian and Jewish, but also Celtic, Nordic, Roman, Irish, Mexican and Hopi. Naturally, there is some astronomy in Season of Light. Audiences learn a selection of Northern hemisphere winter constellations, and find out why we even have seasons, as we demonstrate the Sun’s path across the sky throughout the year, and the Earth’s tilt and orbit around the Sun. This show is roughly 35 minutes long, and will be followed by a Live Narrated Night Sky Presentation. This will bring the total time in the Planetarium to roughly 1 hour. *Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for your show. The show will begin promptly at 6pm and the doors will be shut and locked. There is no reentry to the show if you exit. *Individuals with sensitivities to flashing lights should exercise caution. Items Not Allowed
No food or drinks are allowed in the Planetarium
