The Illinois State University Planetarium will present Aurora, running weekends through November 14. Showtimes are Fridays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 2 p.m. There will be no shows October 2, 3, 23, and 24.
The aurora borealis–or northern lights–is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring sights to grace the night sky. Aurora takes viewers to Earth’s frigid north to explore the myths and science surrounding this spectacular marvel.
Admission to Planetarium shows is $4 for adults, $3 for children ages 5 to12 and seniors, and $2 for children ages 3 to 4. The Planetarium is located under the white-domed roof at the eastern end of Felmley Hall of Science at the intersection of College Avenue and School Street in Normal.
