laser light shows

The Walter R. Schuele Planetarium will be transformed into "an ever-changing universe of brilliantly colored astronomical imagery and animations" when Skylase technology arrives for a limited engagement, through June 21.

what is skylase?

Skylase is a full-dome laser projection system, created by Audio Visual Imagineering, Inc.  Skylase was specifically designed for planetarium projection and produces dazzling laser light shows, pulsing and changing to a variety of music that runs the gamet from the Beatles to the B52's.

Early daytime matinees (1:30 p.m. and earlier) will include a taste of the popular "Legends of the Nigh Sky show."  The award-winning laser animation takes a light-hearted look at the stories behind the constellations.

music catalogue

Skylase laser light and music programs are choreographed to a diverse music catalogue that includes the classic rock of Pink Floyd to current artists like U2. There are shows featuring the music of pop legends like the Beatles, Elton John, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and many, many more. Music and light intensive programs at 3 and 8 p.m. will be longer than the early matinees. . Music selections will be posted here and at the Center by the preceding Friday.
