Dark – NEW at the Dorrance Planetarium (February 3–June 30, 2017)

Dark is a fulldome movie that explains and explores the nature of Dark Matter, the missing 80% of the mass of the Universe.  The search for Dark Matter is the most pressing astrophysical problem of our time – the solution to which will help us understand why the Universe is as it is, where it came from, and how it has evolved over billions of years – the unimaginable depths of deep time, of which a human life is but a flickering instant.
