Seeing!

SEEING! follows a photon’s creation and journey across the galaxy to a young stargazer’s eye. The viewer follows the photon into the girl’s eye, learning the structures of the eye and their functions, prior to taking a ride on the optic nerve. Dramatic fulldome imagery from around the globe featuring humanity, landscapes, skyscapes, wildlife and space will be used to create the story of the photons journey through the eye and its conversion to the electro-chemical impulse traveling the neuro pathways of the brain to create the image we see. Along the way the program examines how the eye works, how technology has enabled us to restore vision and prevent a variety of diseases that affect sight. Admission: $8/adult; $6/child; $20/family This film is appropriate for ages 8+. Planetarium events in general are not recommended for children under 5.
