The Radford University Planetarium is open for the fall season with Thursday shows each week at 7 p.m.
The show this week and next is “Secret Lives of Stars.”
The 27-minute show is narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart of TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation and the X-Men films. This show was produced by Evans & Sutherland, a Cosm company.
“Not all stars are created equal,” the description of the show reads. “Some are massive. Others are tiny; almost insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die. We will witness the amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives. Every star has a unique story to tell. Come join us as we listen to their stories.”
The planetarium is located at the Center for the Sciences, room M75 (Main Street level) on Radford University’s campus. Enter through the doors from Parking Lot C.
More shows will be added in the near future. For more information go to https://www.radford.edu/planetarium.
