Ritter Planetarium: “Einstein's Gravity Playlist”

Journey into the cosmos at the University of Toledo's Ritter Planetarium for a fascinating look at one of Einstein's most intriguing predictions. "Einstein's Gravity Playlist" explores gravitational waves—ripples in space-time that were theorized over a century ago and finally detected by scientists using advanced laser technology. Led by Lucia, a physics PhD student, this program walks families through how gravitational waves form, travel through the universe, and how researchers work to detect them. The planetarium's state-of-the-art digital projector and surround sound create an immersive experience perfect for curious minds. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children, seniors, and UToledo community members. Seating is first-come, first-served with no advance ticket sales, so arriving early is recommended. Note that programs begin promptly and late entry isn't permitted. Free parking is available in lot 1N with advance online registration or by remembering your license plate to register in the lobby. Food and drinks aren't allowed inside the dome. For questions or more details, contact the planetarium at 419.530.2650 or ritter.planetarium@gmail.com.
