Cosmic screensavers

Melinda and the kids got a year pass to the Clark Planetarium. It's really great because besides the dome theater, they have an IMAX which gets the really good IMAX shows, plus all of the 3-D shows as well. Saturday Michel and Brent and their family rode FrontRunner from Roy to Salt Lake for a staycation. We met them at the planetarium and watched Deep Sea 3-D. It was really fun to see all the cousins reach out and try to grab all the fishes and coral that came popping out at them.

Tonight we went and saw one of their "cosmic shows" in the dome theater: Laser U2.


It was actually quite good. Saffy was really impressed with the lasers shining through the fog. I like sitting in the dome with the projections all around because when you see all the images with your perifieral vision as well, it seems almost 3-D and it starts to feel like your actually moving.

John (who had seen it 3 times) said it was worth it the first time, but the third time felt like watching a screensaver. At least it was a really cool screensaver.
