Planetarium Show

planetarium shows

BYU Astronomical Society

Weekly Public Planetarium Shows Planetarium shows given by the BYU Astronomical Society are held most Friday nights.

The shows start promptly at 7 and 8 PM.  There is no late admittance. Because it gets very dark in the planetarium, the shows may not be appropriate for some young children. Please keep in mind that it is difficult to leave once the show has begun.

After the shows, the observation deck on the roof will be open, weather permitting, with telescopes set up for the public to look through.

The Planetarium is located in room N465 on the 4th floor of the Eyring Science Center on the BYU Campus in Provo, Utah.

Bachata & Salsa Dance Lessons

DF Dance Studio Salsa Socials are a treat if you want some Authentic Latin Dancing in Salt Lake City.

There is always a beginner salsa or bachata class to start the night, and dance Shows and competitions during the night. But the real secret of these parties lies in the atmosphere of the studio and the people who attend it.

BYOP (bring your own partner) rule doesn’t apply here! Everyone dances with everyone. If you live in SLC and haven’t been to these socials, you’re missing out!

Gateway District Best

Valley Fair Mall Best
3601 S 2700 W, West Valley City, UT 84119

Of the three Megaplex IMAX screens (Jordan Commons, Valley Fair, The District), only JC’s screen has a full IMAX aspect ratio of 1.43:1. The other two are 1.80:1 (aka LieMAX aspect ratio). Some of Oppenheimer was shot in 1.43, which means the 1.80 screens would be missing about 20% of the complete picture of the 1.43 scenes. All three of the IMAX theaters use digital 2k xenon projectors, which are relatively low resolution. Unfortunately, there aren’t any 70mm or 4k laser IMAX theaters here. The Cinemark “XD” screens are equivalent scale to the Megaplex LieMAX screens.

For the best available picture quality (better than above IMAX screens), but smaller screens with cropped aspect ratio, Broadway Theater is showing in 35mm, and the Gateway Megaplex has theaters with new laser projectors with Dolby Atmos sound.

So depends on what you prefer – the largest/complete picture (JC IMAX) or better picture quality (Broadway 35mm, Gateway laser). —u/al00f_0wl, Reddit, Salt Lake City
