The University of Toledo Ritter Planetarium is featuring an immersive show in full dome through October exploring cosmic connections to Halloween.

For ages 6 and up, “Spooky Space” is showing on Saturdays at 1 p.m. through Oct. 29.

“‘Spooky Space’ is a great Halloween show for families,” said Dr. Michael Cushing, professor of physics and astronomy and director of Ritter Planetarium. “Visitors will be able to explore the sky and outer space by meeting the space counterparts to spooky characters like ghosts, vampires and witches.”

Admission to the program is $8 for adults and $6 for children, senior citizens and UToledo community members. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the show.

Ritter Planetarium also is showing “Secrets of the Universe” on Fridays at 7:30 p.m. through Oct. 28.

Secrets of the Universe is a sweeping science adventure that immerses audiences in the greatest mysteries of our time. The answers await at the collision points of intellect and imagination, of theory and experiment, of the tiniest particles and most powerful forces in the universe.
