The Pensacola Junior College Planetarium and Space Theatre

The 2009 summer season is underway and the planetarium is now featuring laser light shows.  These exciting programs are unique to the area and not to be missed.  To schedule a show for your group please contact us at (850) 484-1232.

 

PERSEUS AND ANDROMEDA

Legends of the Night Sky: Perseus and Andromeda is 20 minutes of full-dome fun. The laser show does a great job of teaching both children and adults this Greek story about the stars.  Narrators, Aesop the owl and Socrates the mouse, bring us a wonderful story filled with humorous and exciting characters. You will not want to miss the scheming father, the beautiful daughter, the sea monster, and the brave hero. By the time our story closes, you will be able to see all the characters of our story in the night sky.

 

ORION 

Legends of the Night Sky: Orion takes a lighthearted and imaginative look at the myths and stories associated with the constellation Orion, the great hunter of the winter sky. The laser show brings the mythological Orion to life in a fun-filled, animated adventure. Accompanied by narrators, Aesop the owl and Socrates the mouse, we follow Orion's adventures as he grows to manhood, battles mythical beasts, foils the plot of an evil king and wins the heart of Artemis, the beautiful moon-goddess. By the end of the story, we learn how the constellation Orion was placed in the sky, forever turning overhead throughout the seasons.
