- Family Planetarium Show: The Cosmic Recipe: Setting the Periodic TableThe famous astronomer Carl Sagan once said: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." Though that may sound crazy, Sagan was onto something BIG! Want to know what? Pull up a chair at our Planetarium's Periodic Table and learn the cosmic recipes that created everything in our world – even us! Discover how the Big Bang and the stars have cooked up the everyday elements we interact with every day—like the calcium in our teeth, the silicon in our smartphones, and even the carbon in our apple pies. Explore the world of chemistry—the protons, neutrons and electrons! See how tiny atoms relate to the mammoth stars! Connect the physical worlds of the small and large in this engaging and inspiring show. Watch a trailer here. Each show will be followed by a live presentation of Tonight's Sky. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. To purchase tickets in advance visit https://www.tickets.umn.edu/UMDMWAP/Online/

The detector is IceCube! The messengers are neutrinos–ghostly particles that give us tantalizing looks into world of exploding stars and black holes. This show tells the incredible story of how an international team of scientists and engineers transformed one billion tons of Antarctic ice into a telescope. Building IceCube was a titanic endeavor driven by our human passion for discovery. Watch a trailer here. Each show will be followed by a live presentation of Tonight's Sky.
