Mueller Planetarium’s updated summer schedule for August 2-15 (no shows Mondays):

- “Natural Selection” – Wednesday and Sunday at 3 p.m.

Beginning the week of Aug. 16, Mueller Planetarium will go to its fall schedule, presenting astronomy shows only on Thursday nights and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
“Dark Side of the Moon: The Fulldome Experience” is not a laser light show as audiences have seen in the past. It features the next generation of computer-generated graphics. Experience Pink Floyd’s popular rock album “Dark Side of the Moon” in immersive fulldome digital format with both abstract and concrete imagery. This show is not intended for young children due to mature language content. (43 min.)
Planetarium tickets include museum admission and can be purchased at the museum’s front desk the day of the show. Admission is $8 for adults, $5.50 for children, and $3 for UNL staff, faculty and students with valid NU ID.
