Firefall

Join us at the Taylor Observatory for a showing of the full-dome planetarium show FireFall. This 34-minute film covers Earth’s violent history. Impacts from comets and asteroids have mercilessly shaped the Earth’s surface. The ancient barrage continues today, from harmless meteors – those brilliant streaks in the night sky, to mountain-sized boulders wandering perilously close to Earth. Terrifying and majestic, these invaders from space are capable of utter destruction, yet they have delivered life-giving water and most of the organic materials necessary for life.

Following this one-hour presentation, visitors are invited to view the night sky through the observatory’s telescopes (weather permitting).

Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just curious about the cosmos, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience. This event is open to all Lake County families.
