Dynamic Earth | Ritter Planetarium and Brooks Observatory

Friday evenings at 7:30 PM from April 3 to April 24, 2026, Dynamic Earth explores the inner workings of Earth’s great life support system: the global climate. Using visualizations based on satellite monitoring data and advanced supercomputer simulations, this cutting-edge production follows the flow of energy from the Sun into the interconnected systems that shape the climate, including the atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere. Audiences are taken on a journey through swirling ocean and wind currents, into the heart of a massive hurricane, and face-to-face with sharks and gigantic whales, before soaring into roiling volcanoes.
