Now Showing in the Faulkner Planetarium

Pink Floyd's groundbreaking album has long been a staple of planetarium entertainment offerings.  Now, for the first time ever, see one of the best-selling albums of all time interpreted in a program officially sanctioned by the band, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of its release.  In addition to stunning, choreographed visuals, you'll also hear the music like never before, brilliantly remastered and presented in 10,200 watts of full-surround sound.

Because the Faulkner Planetarium is the only venue in Idaho where you can experience this program—and only for a limited time—all tickets for this show will be $6, and no free passes or discounts may be applied.

The starry sky is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes we can see from Earth.  Thousands of stars dotting the sky above our heads provoke that feeling of infinity and at the same time smallness.  Humans have felt this since we first turned our eyes up to the sky.

But what lies beyond?  If we were able to look farther and farther away and to study this black background of the night, what would we see?

Over the past decades large telescopes and observatories in space have spied the black background of the night and have unearthed a fascinating, dynamic and complex universe…Hundreds, thousands of astronomical objects that were hidden from our view have filled our eyes with an explosion of colors, shapes and unimaginable dimensions.

This modern image of our universe deserves to be told and known by the public.  Come with us and discover our own Deep Sky.

A live sky tour follows the program, featuring constellations, planets, the moon and other items of interest currently visible in the sky, with tips for finding your way around in the heavens on the next clear night, and stories about the stars.
