Dark Matter Presents Orbit
These videos are the flat-screen versions of the full-dome videos that were shown at the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium in Kansas City MO during 8 live performances in February and May 2011. The soundtrack for Orbs of Jupiter is a live recording from the performance on May 7th. All other soundtracks were recorded in the studio. Graphics animations were developed using Seeker, a solar system simulator, and were modified and rendered into their final format using After Effects.

Orbs of Jupiter The Galileo spacecraft spent several years orbiting and exploring the planet Jupiter and its many moons. Follow the spacecraft as it visits the Galilean satellites and other Jovian moons. (5:00) |

Orbit Our solar system includes 8 planets, at least 51 dwarf planets, nearly 200 moons, and thousands of asteroids and comets. Travel to the 8 planets we have visited so far using robotic explorers. (17:20) |
Water Meditation: Carinet As you watch these videos you are in constant motion as you rotate and revolve with the Earth, and as a part of the Sun’s ‘family’, you are also traveling with the Sun relative to the stars and shape of the Milky Way Galaxy. (5:28) |
Great way of introducing space, music, and reality of dark matter.
