- Wednesday 4/26 Galileo: The Power of the Telescope $4.00 per person
-
- Two eyes and two pieces of glass revolutionized human understanding 400 years ago. The eyes belonged
to Galileo Galilei, and the curved pieces of glass were the lenses of his telescope.This show tells Galileo’s
personal and powerful story and explores how his discoveries displaced long-held views about the
universe. The film takes you back in time to Pisa, Italy to experience Galileo’s early experiments with
gravity and the laws of motion, his advocacy of the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun, and his
work with early telescopes. You see how his keen observations culminated in The Starry Messenger, an
early masterpiece in which Galileo described all his dazzling discoveries in a straightforward, easy to
understand way.

About the Horwitz DeRemer Planetarium:
The Charles Horwitz Planetarium opened in May 2005. The state-of-the-art, 90-seat, Digistar-6 planetarium is owned and operated by the School District of Waukesha. With the new, high-definition laser projection system, guests can fly through the rings of Saturn, land spacecraft on Mars and travel at light speed to stars and distant galaxies… all without leaving their seats!
In the Spring of 2018, the planetarium was renamed: Horwitz DeRemer Planetarium after David A. DeRemer, who was the director of the planetarium from 1978 to 2018.
The planetarium is not only an accurate day and night sky projection system, but the program serves as a district and community science resource center. School and community programs are designed to meet state and national astronomy standards, but these programs also present fundamental science concepts of weather, climate, chemistry, physics, and earth science.
The entrance to the planetarium, lobby area, and the theater are completely wheelchair accessible.

- Two eyes and two pieces of glass revolutionized human understanding 400 years ago. The eyes belonged
to Galileo Galilei, and the curved pieces of glass were the lenses of his telescope.This show tells Galileo’s
personal and powerful story and explores how his discoveries displaced long-held views about the
universe. The film takes you back in time to Pisa, Italy to experience Galileo’s early experiments with
gravity and the laws of motion, his advocacy of the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun, and his
work with early telescopes. You see how his keen observations culminated in The Starry Messenger, an
early masterpiece in which Galileo described all his dazzling discoveries in a straightforward, easy to
understand way.

About the Horwitz DeRemer Planetarium:
The Charles Horwitz Planetarium opened in May 2005. The state-of-the-art, 90-seat, Digistar-6 planetarium is owned and operated by the School District of Waukesha. With the new, high-definition laser projection system, guests can fly through the rings of Saturn, land spacecraft on Mars and travel at light speed to stars and distant galaxies… all without leaving their seats!
In the Spring of 2018, the planetarium was renamed: Horwitz DeRemer Planetarium after David A. DeRemer, who was the director of the planetarium from 1978 to 2018.
The planetarium is not only an accurate day and night sky projection system, but the program serves as a district and community science resource center. School and community programs are designed to meet state and national astronomy standards, but these programs also present fundamental science concepts of weather, climate, chemistry, physics, and earth science.
The entrance to the planetarium, lobby area, and the theater are completely wheelchair accessible.
