About Carolina Skies | Planetarium Show
Journey through the Carolina night sky Although “Carolina Skies” is one of the longest-running planetarium shows at Morehead, this show is never the same twice! A Morehead educator leads this “live” star show, a traditional planetarium show focusing on stars, planets, and constellations. “Carolina Skies” takes Morehead visitors on a guided tour of the nighttime sky as it appears on that very night above North Carolina. Visitors learn to identify celestial objects visible to the naked eye and find the cardinal directions using celestial signposts. They learn about the legends and myths created by ancient cultures to explain the astronomical phenomena observed by those cultures. Currently, “Carolina Skies” shows also include an exciting “fly-out” experience that travels beyond our Solar System into the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond to the universe’s outer reaches! Morehead also offers special editions of “Carolina Skies” throughout the year. This show is recommended for ages 9 and up.
