Second Saturday, April 9, provides an opportunity to experience the Sudekum Planetarium after-hours and pay only for planetarium tickets (no general admission cost).  

6:30pm Dawn of the Space Age From Sputnik to the Space Shuttle and beyond, join the excitement of exploring the final frontier. Behold the drive, passion, and perseverance of the men and women who dare to explore, as the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human in Earth orbit and the 30th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle launch. With the advent of international cooperation and commercial spaceflight, we are now on the brink of a new dawn of the space age. Dawn of the Space Age is recommended for ages 4 and up.
 
7:30pm Skies Over Nashville Skies Over Nashville is a live program in which a planetarium educator shows you how to locate and identify naked-eye seasonal constellations, bright stars, planets and any other interesting sky objects visible on the date of the planetarium visit. You're invited to ask questions and participate in the show! Skies Over Nashville is recommended for ages 4 and up.

8:30pm Relive the 1980s with the aid of 21st century technology. Brilliant lasers, fulldome effects, and millions of stars perform to the sounds of Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, the Eurythmics, Red Rider, Thomas Dolby, INXS, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and more.

9:30pm Classic U2 Look up 'U2' in an encyclopedia, and you might find a spy plane, a submarine, a brand of clothing, and something to do with DNA. Look a little deeper, and you'll find that Bono, The Edge, and the rest of U2 were a major part of the soundtrack for the 1980s and 1990s. The Classic U2 in this cosmic concert features the pounding rhythms of these Irish rock legends along with brilliant lasers, millions of stars, and digital visual effects. 

10:30pm The Other Side of Pink Floyd If you have already explored the Dark Side of the Moon and want more, this Pink Floyd Cosmic Concert will send you even further. From Piper at the Gates of Dawn to The Division Bell and everything in between, lasers, stars, and special effects provide the ultimate accompaniment to the music of Pink Floyd. Wear any Pink Floyd shirt and get a free compliment from our enthusiastic staff.
