Event
Free Public Planetarium Show
Bellevue College will be offering free public planetarium shows in its Willard Geer planetarium on the evening of Friday, November 20th, at 6:00 and 7:00PM. Each show will consist of a professionally produced, full-dome video "The Secret Lives of Stars," as well as a live segment introducing the audience to that night's sky, and will last approximately 45 minutes. For a description of the video, please click HERE(http://www.bellevuecollege.edu/sami/planetarium-show-descriptions/). During the live segment, the presenter will point out the brightest stars and constellations so audience members can go home and stargaze from their own backyards.
The planetarium, is a special domed-ceiling room (room B-244) where the nighttime sky is accurately reproduced. Shows are not normally recommended for kids under the age of six, however younger kids may attend the 6:00pm show if parents feel they can handle their experience in the planetarium. (The darkness of the room and the subject and length of the shows has proven to a problem for kids younger than that). Because the room is dark during the show, there is no late admission or re-entry.
Admission is free for each show, but due to limited seating, reservations must be made in advance, typically a week prior to each show. Reservations can be made through Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/ with the search term "Bellevue Planetarium." Each link to Brown Paper Tickets is unique. When you reserve your ticket, your name will be automatically entered onto the will-call list. The presenter will check your name off when you enter. Doors will open 10-minutes prior to the start of the show.
When you finalize your reservations, you will receive a confirmation email. There is information in that email about cancelling your reservations in case your plans change. We do not charge for these events, but we need your help to keep it that way please follow the steps in the confirmation email to release your tickets if you cannot attend. If the show is sold out and you still are hoping to attend, you may arrive before the show is scheduled to start and see if there are any last minute cancellations. *This does not guarantee admission into the planetarium.*
Parking is free in the parking garage after 3:00pm. A map can be found at http://www.bellevuecollege.edu/location/maps/parking/
