'Dark Side of the Moon' featured on planetarium fulldome Thursdays

Beginning Oct. 8, Mueller Planetarium will feature Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon: The Fulldome Experience" Thursdays at 7 p.m. Mueller Planetarium is located inside Morrill Hall, south of 14th and Vine streets on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus. The museum is open late to the public on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

"Dark Side of the Moon: The Fulldome Experience" is not a laser show like audiences have seen in the past. It showcases the next generation of computer-generated graphics. Audiences will experience Pink Floyd's popular rock album "Dark Side of the Moon" as it is presented with immersive fulldome digital technology, Dolby 5.1 surround sound and interpreted with both abstract and concrete imagery. This show is not intended for young children because of mature language content. (43 min. running time.)

Effective Oct. 8, the planetarium schedule will be:

- Saturdays and Sundays: 2 p.m. "Flight To the Moon," 3 p.m. "Dawn of the Space Age"

- Thursdays: 7 p.m. "Dark Side of the Moon: The Fulldome Experience"
