Event Description:
On Friday, January 29th, the Science Factory's planetarium will be unveiled as a full-dome theater, and renamed the Exploration Dome. At a special members-only sneak preview event in the new Dome, the Science Factory will present the full-dome video "Astronaut" several times between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM. Members of the press are invited to attend this special sneak-peak before the Exploration Dome opens to the public for an expanded schedule of shows starting January 30th. The full-dome video "Astronaut," created by the National Space Centre, answers the question: What does it take to become an astronaut? Virtually immersed with "Chad," a test astronaut, audience members will experience every challenge space has to throw at him, from floating around the International Space Station to maneuvering through microscopic regions of the human body. Presented in stunning high-definition 360-degree full-dome video with explosive surround sound, Astronaut is known to take the viewer out of this world! "Astronaut" was written and produced by Andy Gregory, with narration by Ewan McGregor, and is distributed by SkyScan, Inc. The presentation of "Astronaut" in the Science Factory Exploration Dome was made possible in part by sponsorship from PeaceHealth. The Science Factory will be offering expanded Exploration Dome programming starting on January 30; this includes the presentation of three shows on Friday and Saturday nights in addition to seven shows during the day on Saturdays and Sundays. The public can look forward to the opportunity of seeing "Seasonal Star Show: Winter," "Tonight's Sky," a live interactive star show, and the animated full-dome video "Legends of the Night Sky: Orion," in addition to "Astronaut." The Exploration Dome at the Science Factory is outfitted with a Mediaglobe-II full-dome digital projector, capable of displaying the most advanced computer graphics technology. The new projector is a fraction of the size of the previous Planetarium projector, offering unobstructed views of the entire dome. In addition, the Dome boasts a state-of-the-art surround sound system, enhanced lighting, and a small stage area that will be used for lecture demonstrations and meetings. The new system gives the Science Factory the ability to present a diverse range of full-dome science programs rather than star shows alone. The Exploration Dome is now the second largest indoor full-dome theater in the Pacific Northwest, and one of only a handful in Oregon, making its programs a vital resource for Lane County and surrounding rural communities.
