The sky’s literally the limit at this great theater on the University of North Texas campus. This unique 100 seat, 40-foot domed theater features the Digistar III HD projection system that can reproduce the sky with digital precision.  It can make you feel like you are traveling to nearby stars, taking a celestial roller coaster, or winding through a field of electrons within an atom.  This will be a private TIAA event and we will see a program called “Wonders of the Universe” which peers deep into space through the eyes of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and travels back billions of years in time to witness the birth of the universe. On this breathtaking excursion we’ll see the formation of galaxies and explore some of the most wondrous nebulae and astronomical structures yet discovered. As our travels continue, we'll fly deep into our own Milky Way galaxy and return home to Earth on a spectacular tour through the solar system. We will leave Texins at 10:30 a.m., tour at 11:30, eat at Abbey Inn and Pub (at our own expense), and return at 3:00 p.m. so bring your grandkids along!  Cost is $13 for members and $15 for nonmembers.
