MarsQuest
Thursdays, 7 pm & Fridays, 8 pm, Mar. 29 - May 10
MarsQuest is a chronicle tracing our centuries-long cultural and scientific fascination with the red planet Mars.  Set in a theatrical style “three-act” form with an epilogue, it weaves an enjoyable narrative of what Mars means to humanity.

Passport to the Universe
Thursdays, 8 pm, Mar. 29 - May 10

The breathtaking Passport to the Universe reveals the wonders of our universe in a way never before possible in a planetarium.
Narrated by two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, Passport to the Universe treats the audience to realistic close-up views of star fields and planets, taking them on an exhilarating flight through a virtual re-creation of our universe, into the Orion Nebula, out of our galaxy, and deep into intergalactic space.

All shows are open to the public

Admission price: $3 for adults, $2 for children, active military and senior citizens. ASU students, faculty and staff are admitted free. For more information, call 325-942-2136 or visit angelo.edu/dept/physics/planetarium.html.
