Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado at Boulder will explore the dynamics of the solar system and the way it was shaped by millions of collisions in "Cosmic Collisions and Our Solar System," on Friday, June 29, at 8 p.m. at the planetarium.

The pre-recorded show takes viewers back in time to the beginning of the solar system when the devastating impact of asteroids, comets and millions of chunks of floating debris reworked the surfaces of the planets.

The show also examines the possibility of a dangerous asteroid or comet hitting Earth and what would happen to life if the planet were hit.

Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and children. They go on sale at 7:30 p.m. the night of the show.

Fiske Planetarium is located at Regent Drive and Kittredge Loop Drive on the CU-Boulder campus. Sommers-Bausch Observatory will be open for telescope viewing immediately following the show at Fiske.
