Mueller Planetarium adds lunar exploration fulldome show

            Mueller Planetarium at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Morrill Hall has added "Back to the Moon for Good" to its summer fulldome show line-up.

            Narrated by actor Tim Allen, "Back to the Moon for Good" explores the history of lunar exploration and the Moon's resources. It shows how a competition among privately funded international teams is ushering in a new era of lunar exploration. Audiences will be able to immerse themselves in a race to the Moon 40 years after the historic Apollo landings and see what humanity's future on the Moon might hold.

            Mueller Planetarium's summer fulldome schedule:

• Tuesday through Sundays, 2 p.m. -- "Dream to Fly" (35 minutes);
• Tuesday through Sundays, 3 p.m. -- "Back to the Moon for Good" with skytalk (34 minutes);
• Thursdays, 7 p.m. -- "Firefall" (35 minutes).

            The schedule is subject to change. For more information about fulldome shows go to the planetarium's website, http://www.spacelaser.com, or phone 402-472-2641.
