NOW
SHOWING:
The
Dinosaurs of China
The
Miami Science
Museum has joined with the
venerable
Beijing Museum of Natural History to bring you the finest collection of
Chinese
dinosaur fossils ever seen in the United States. The exhibit
features
14 enormous articulated dinosaur skeletons and 52 spectacular
individual
specimens, including 8 of the most rare feathered dinosaurs and birds
from the
fossil beds at Liaoning.
Together with unique fully-sculpted models, interactive and multimedia
experiences, and a children's paleo-discovery area, these magnificent
creatures
will come alive for South Florida
families at
this once-in-a-lifetime event. Through April, 2008.
PLANETARIUM:
The
Miami
Planetarium opened its doors to the public on November 4, 1966 and has
entertained and educated children of all ages about astronomy and the
wonders
of the night sky ever since. The Planetarium, home to Jack Horkheimer’s
Star Gazer, the world’s first and only weekly television series on
naked-eye astronomy, houses a 65-foot diameter domed projection screen
with 231
seats. At the heart of the Planetarium is a SPITZ “Space Transit
Planetarium” star projector, which is capable of accurately reproducing
the stars and planets as seen from anywhere on Earth at any time during
the
year. Shows daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Click Here
to view Planetarium show schedule.
The
Planetarium also features surround sound, video projection, lasers
and
breathtaking four story tall multi-media imagery. Unlike any other in South Florida, the Museum’s Planetarium is a
unique
setting for bringing the stars and planets indoors in animated live
star shows
and music-filled laser light shows.
The
Weintraub
Observatory houses two powerful Meade telescopes. At 8 p.m. each
first
Friday of the month a free Planetarium show precedes Observatory
session. This
once a month free star show is not dependent on the weather as is the
Observatory. Observatory hours from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Peer
through the
telescope to view the planets, the four moons of Jupiter, the rings of
Saturn
and deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulas and double stars.
