ADRIAN — The fulldome movie “Cosmic Colors” will be featured each Friday during March at Adrian College’s Robinson Planetarium.

Shows are appropriate for people of all ages, a news release from Adrian College said, and the first show of the month is scheduled for 7 p.m. today. Additional shows also begin at 7 p.m. and will be on March 10, 17 and 24. There will not be a show on March 31.

Each program is offered at no cost and lasts approximately 50 minutes, the release said. Pre-registration is not required.

“Cosmic Colors” will take visitors on a journey across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the release said, to discover the many reasons for color — like why the sky is blue and Mars is red, for example. The show also includes a look at the spring star patterns for Michigan.

Robinson Planetarium is at the eastern end of Peelle Hall on the AC campus. Peelle Hall is on the corner of South Charles and Williams streets. Lawn signs will be posted around AC's campus directing motorists to available parking and to the planetarium.
