SUMMARY:Domehead Science: Permian Monsters and "Journey to the Center of the Earth"
DESCRIPTION:“Permian Monsters: The Worst Mass Extinction of all Time”\n\n\n \n\n\nFollowed by a FREE viewing of the Jules Verne’s 1959 classic\, “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.\n\n\n \n\n\nOpening talk by Christian F. Kammerer\, Research\, Curator of Paleontology\, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. \n\n\n \n\n\nGeneral admission is $10 for adults or children.\n\n\nMember admission pricing is $8 for adults or children. Please purchase tickets in advance here. This events are limited capacity and typically sell out in advance. Ticket sales link coming soon!\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLong before the dinosaurs\, the earth was ruled by a group called synapsids–a set of often bizarre-looking animals more closely related to mammals than reptiles. The greatest diversity and abundance of these non-mammalian synapsids occurred in the Permian Period. Synapsids were nearly wiped out at the end of the Permian in the worst mass extinction of all time\, paving the way for new creatures\, like the ancestors of dinosaurs\, to take over in the following Triassic Period. However\, a few synapsids survived\, giving rise to the first mammals in the rapidly changing Triassic world. This talk discuss the importance of the end-Permian mass extinction in shaping the origins of important groups like dinosaurs and mammals\, and show how understanding extinctions in the distant past can help us deal with the current biodiversity crisis.

SUMMARY:Permian Monsters
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nA Traveling Exhibition blending Art and Science\nOpening February 14\, 2018 \nStep back in time 290 million years when bizarre-looking animals dominated life on land and sea\, and find out about the greatest extinction the world has ever seen in Permian Monsters: Life before the Dinosaurs. This unique traveling exhibition brings the past back to life with fossilized skeletons and full size life models of the animals that ruled the world millions of years before the age of dinosaurs\, in a time known as the Permian. \nThe Permian period ended with the largest extinction Earth ever experienced\, which wiped out 90% of all species on the planet. The cause of the end-Permian extinction had baffled scientists for the past 20 years but a recent discovery shed new light on the cause of this catastrophe: global warming. Find out how this familiar phenomenon\, started by a huge volcanic eruption\, set off a chain of events that led to the greatest extinction on Earth. \n\n\nThe exhibition blends art and science with a collection of new artwork which offers a glimpse back in time through the eyes of award winning paleo-artist Julius Csotonyi. View fossilised skeletons and reconstructed models of these amazing but bizarre creatures that dominated land and sea; and dig and identify fossils in the interactive dig pits throughout the exhibition. \nThis traveling exhibition showcases an amazing collection of fossils and models from this relatively unknown time period\, from giant insects\, bizarre looking sharks to strange reptiles with mammal-like characteristics. Meet the top predator of the time\, the giant sabertoothed gorgonopsid Inostrancevia and find out what nearly killed them all to make way for Earth’s next rulers\, the Dinosaurs. \n\n  \nº@B \n1@B \n@B \n \n@@B \n«@B \n@B \n@B \n

SUMMARY:Galapagos - IMAX
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\nDiscover a paradise unlike any other. \n\n\nIn the vastness of the Pacific Ocean\, there is a paradise unlike any other: the Galapagos Archipelago. Amongst these fascinating and remote volcanic islands\, life has played out over millions of years in relative isolation. The result is a wonderland of nature\, with a remarkable collection of plants and charismatic animals that have all adapted to this unique environment. Meet giant half-ton tortoises and marine iguanas that spit sea-salt from their noses. Dance with tropical albatrosses and hunt fishes with the colorful blue-footed boobies. Dive into the ocean with flightless cormorants and swim with tiny penguins thousands of miles from their natural habitats. \nAround the archipelago\, converging cross-winds and deep\, cold\, nutrient-rich currents have made possible a unique and bio-diverse marine oasis\, which boasts everything from abundant microscopic plankton to Galapagos sharks. “Galapagos: Nature’s Wonderland” is a story of discovery\, of survival against the odds\, and of nature’s ingenuity\, all brought to life in stunning IMAX Dome format. You’re invited to explore these extraordinary and enchanted islands\, whose remarkable inhabitants helped change the way we understand nature.
