PLANETARIUM: The Earth Today: A Changing Planet

Supported by a grant from the American Physical Society and produced by the McDonnell Planetarium, this premiere program turns the traditional “Star Show” on its head.

Our planet changes every day, and this Planetarium Show will give a new view of Earth on every visit! Learn how to spot the increasing number of satellites visible from the ground in St. Louis, then join them in orbit to discover the immense amount of information they collect about weather, life, and Earth’s connected systems.

Live educators will guide exploration of the Earth today using real-time geospatial data, providing insights into current events and tangible impacts on our day-to-day lives. Audiences will then travel beyond the Earth as it is today to learn how scientists use data to create models and track long-term changes.

Since Earth is our one and only home in a vast universe, The Earth Today reminds us to look back, in addition to looking up.
