Join the San Juan College Planetarium's March AstroFriday presentation of Living Worlds followed by a stargaze.
Our March presentation at the Planetarium will be “Living Worlds,” a 27-minute fulldome video produced by the California Academy of Sciences and the Morrison Planetarium in San Francisco. San Juan College Planetarium was awarded a free 10-year license for Living Worlds in an essay contest and we are proud to be able to present it again this year as an AstroFriday public show!
Living Worlds invites you to journey through space and time to examine life as an essential quality of our home planet. Narrator Daveed Diggs takes you on an exploration of the co-evolution of life and our planet, revealing the ways in which life has transformed Earth’s surface and atmosphere over billions of years. Along the way, you’ll see how light and color can help us spot a living world, even from great distances. As we ponder what forms life might take in the Solar System and beyond, Living Worlds encourages us to consider how a deeper understanding of our own planet can aid in the search for life across the cosmos, and to reflect on ways we can partner with our living world to ensure our continued survival.
