Tarleton State Planetarium

At the TSU Planetarium we play digitally formatted shows, classic and contemporary movies. We will be posting show times, upcoming movies, and more!

Even the moon sets eventually… 🌙

The Final Shows (for this semester) with Molly Moon are here!
•Mon 4/22 6pm
•Mon 4/29 6pm

If you haven’t had a chance to come out to the planetarium this year, this is your last chance before I graduate!

See you there! -Molly Moon 🌙

Swift’s UVOT (Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope) was designed to take a standard set of images following a gamma-ray burst. Since 2008, it has autonomously taken additional data if the burst is bright enough, leading to the earliest-ever UV spectrum obtained for a burst! #Swift20

“Dan Stone – Celestial Impressions”  The planetarium featured an art exhibit last week, a “first” for the planetarium.  Look for this exhibition to return later this spring.

Hubble got the bullseye! 🎯

The Bullseye Galaxy, that is. The galaxy's nine rings were caused by a blue dwarf galaxy (seen just at center-left) diving through the Bullseye about 50 million years ago: https://t.co/DR4NQXSWXr

Astronaut Suni Williams rode the Canadarm2 robotic arm while orbiting above the Earth during a five hour, 26-minute spacewalk on Jan. 30, 2025. Williams now has 62 hours, 6 minutes of total spacewalk time, fourth on @NASA's all-time list. More pix... https://t.co/vpyst23she

NASA and Lockheed Martin recently released photos of the X-59 "quiet" supersonic jet conducting tests of its afterburner, blasting out a column of fire while in the hangar. https://t.co/Uy32Dgr3aS

Everybody, wave!

@Firefly_Space’s Blue Ghost lunar lander caught Earth on video as the lander continued its journey to the Moon. Blue Ghost is expected to land on March 2, delivering 10 NASA science investigations to the Moon's surface.

In honor of @NASA’s annual Day of Remembrance, @NASA_Astronauts Suni Williams provided heartfelt words on behalf of herself and her Expedition 72 crew members for those who made, and continue to make, the ultimate sacrifice of space exploration.

Today, we reflect and remember all of our fallen NASA heroes, including the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia.

We hope everyone is staying safe and warm. There's snow place like home!

Our eyes are on the prize 👀

The Moon's South Pole has NASA scientists’ imaginations running wild. Learn why @NASA plans to land astronauts there and meet the robot landers that will scout the area ahead of them >> https://t.co/blSjCIwpDx

As usual, the Sun’s got a flare for the dramatic. Using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, scientists have spotted flickering loops in the solar atmosphere that seem to signal when a big solar flare is on the way. Learn more: https://t.co/d0AhsxXMq4

This weekend's meet-cute: Saturn and Venus 💞

Over the last couple of weeks, the two planets have been coming closer and closer in the night sky—and on the 17th and 18th, they'll be just a couple finger widths apart. Get the details—no telescope needed: https://t.co/iNugmM4HDR

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

[Hubble @NASAHubble]

A century ago, our understanding of the universe exploded.

By observing a Cepheid variable star (which pulse at a rhythm tied to their luminosity), astronomer Edwin Hubble realized that our universe is full of galaxies beyond our Milky Way: https://t.co/ecBqHROpmd

We’ve confirmed separation. The Blue Ghost lander and its payloads continue on their voyage to the Moon. For more updates, check @Firefly_Space.

[NASA Universe @NASAUniverse]

The brightness of Cepheid variable stars changes over time because the stars themselves regularly grow and shrink. #MondayMotivation

If you’re seeing this, 2025 is destined to be OUT OF THIS WORLD! 🚀✨

The universe is lighting up for you — here’s to a year full of stellar moments ahead! 🎆 Cheers to a cosmic #NewYear!
