On February 27, 1973, EMI Records held a press conference for the debut of Pink Floyd’s new album, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ at the London Planetarium. Although the Planetarium dome could only show an array of stars, constellations, and images of the cosmos while the music played, it was an unprecedented success. Fifty years later, in recognition of the iconic album (and with the help of huge strides in technology), an official fulldome experience with stunning visuals of the solar system and beyond is now available and being shown at select Planetariums worldwide. “The show itself will be divided between the 10 tracks off the album, in chronological order, each having a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. It promises to be immersive; an all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.” Celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the best selling albums of all time with an immersive space and musical experience like you’ve never seen before. The Adler Planetarium is the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices. 🌈 Get tickets to see Pink Floyd's “The Dark Side Of The Moon“ fulldome show in Chicago: 🎟 Visit us—get museum tickets: 📱 Need some space in your inbox?
