Taylor Swift continues to be in demand at Triton College – that is, the laser light show set to the pop icon’s chart-topping music that runs a few more days at the planetarium on the school’s campus.
The “Laser Taylor Swift” cosmic light show returned by demand following a previous run at the Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College in suburban River Grove. It continues daily until March 29.
“Laser Taylor Swift” tickets go on sale at 1 p.m. the day of each 3 p.m. showing, according to a college news release.
Cosmic light show “Laser Van Halen” completes its Saturdays-in-March presentation March 30 while the “Best of Pink Floyd” cosmic light show is set to start Saturdays in April, the release states.
Additionally, ahead of the solar eclipse April 8, another planetarium show includes “ECLIPSE: The Sun Revealed,” which began a Monday-to-Friday engagement March 25 and continues daily at 1:30 p.m. to March 29. It is also set to run April 3 and Saturdays to April 6, according to the release.
While eclipse totality will not be visible from the Chicago area, the center will host an event to safely observe 93% of the sun eclipsed, weather permitting, the release states.
“Throughout the afternoon enjoy music outdoors, watch livestreaming video of totality indoors, and make and take ultraviolet bracelets in the Cernan Center lobby,” officials stated in the release.
Officials noted in the release that, weather permitting, visitors will be able to observe the partial solar eclipse, which begins at 12:51 p.m. as seen from Triton College. School groups, libraries, senior centers and community organizations are invited to witness the partial solar eclipse on the college’s campus.
RSVPs are accepted by April 1 at cernan@triton.edu, according to a college release.
“Telescopes with full aperture solar filters and a variety of indirect viewing methods will be provided for all to enjoy. Over the next hour, more and more of the sun’s bright disk will be blocked by the moon,” officials stated in the release.
Maximum eclipse occurs at 2:07 p.m. after which the moon will appear to cover less and less of the sun’s disk until “last contact” at the end of the partial phase at 3:22 p.m. the release states.
Protective glasses to view the partial eclipse safely will be available for purchase in the Star Store.
