Cosmic collisions: new space show at the Hayden Planetarium! Opens January 14, 2006
Natural History, Dec, 2005
On January 14, a new Space Show of cosmic proportions is hitting the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater! Immersed in a dazzling virtual reality simulator, you'll journey into deep space--well beyond the calm face of the night sky--to explore cosmic collisions, hypersonic impacts that drive the dynamic and continuing formation of the universe.
You'll witness the creation of our Moon some five billion years ago when a wandering planetoid struck Earth; the violent meeting of two stars in a dense globular cluster; and the future collision of our Milky Way galaxy with our closest neighbor, the Andromeda spiral galaxy, a cosmic crash that will produce a new giant elliptical galaxy billions of years from now.

Finally, you'll feel the ground shake beneath you as you bear witness to such high-energy events as the meteorite impact that hastened the end of the Age of Dinosaurs millions of years ago and cleared the way for mammals like us to thrive.
