Viz Lab Shows What it Takes to be an Astronaut

Colgate's Ho Tung Visualization Laboratory and Planetarium is going to show what it takes to be an astronaut.

The Viz Lab is showing Astronaut Friday evenings at 6 p.m. starting Friday through March 25.

Admission is free. Space is limited and seating is first come first serve so call the lab at 228-6125 or make reservations online.

The Ho Tung Visualization Lab is located on Colgate campus in room 401 Ho Science Building.

Astronaut, the latest immersive planetarium show to be created by the National Space Centre, takes you from Earth into space ... and beyond. Experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut. Explore the amazing worlds of inner and outer space, from floating around the International Space Station to maneuvering through microscopic regions of the human body.

The show is presented in high definition 360 degree full dome video and surround sound.

Astronaut is preceded by an Apollo 11 tribute show, and is supported by NASA NY Space Grant, Colgate's Department of Physics & Astronomy, C.O.V.E., the Upstate Institute and the Department of Biology.
