Ritter Planetarium: "Chasing the Ghost Particle"

Journey into the cosmos at the University of Toledo's Ritter Planetarium with "Chasing the Ghost Particle," a fascinating exploration of neutrinos—nearly invisible particles that travel through space from the most dramatic cosmic events. Learn how scientists use the massive IceCube detector buried deep in Antarctic ice to catch these ghostly messengers and unlock secrets about exploding stars, black holes, and other extreme cosmic phenomena. The show takes full advantage of the planetarium's cutting-edge digital projection and surround sound system to transport you through space and time. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children, seniors, and University of Toledo community members. Seating is first-come, first-served with no advance ticket sales, so arrive early. The planetarium starts shows promptly at the listed time, and late arrivals aren't permitted. Free parking is available in lot 1N—just register your license plate before the show, either online or in the lobby. Note that food and drinks aren't allowed inside the dome.
