Now, we are finally one step closer to knowing the answer. With the discovery in 1995 of the first planet orbiting another star, we now know that planets are not unique to our own Solar System. This production explores what makes a planet \u201cEarth-like\u201d in the first place, and takes an immersive full dome tour of several worlds that just might fit the conditions we\u2019re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bushman Planetarium, located in Agenstein Hall, room 147, features a Digistar 4 projection system and a dome that is tilted slightly, rather than directly overhead, making viewing easier. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound system enhances the viewing experience.For more information, please call 816-271-4288 or email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:planetarium@missouriwestern.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planetarium@missouriwestern.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">含羞草社区 is a student-centered learning community preparing individuals for lives of excellence through applied learning. 含羞草社区 is located in St. Joseph, Mo., and is committed to the educational, economic, cultural and social development of the region it serves.
