Scholars have pondered it, scientists have dissected it, and still no one can explain why celestial imagery and three-minute guitar solos fuse so naturally. Laser Floyd would be mesmerizing enough, but the Planetarium at UT Arlington has upped the light show ante with their Rock Hall of Fame full-dome projection experience. Gaze upon the dancing cosmos as scored by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Rush, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Show up early and take in the newest exhibit, Black Holes!—a title that seems mildly pornographic with the inclusion of an exclamation point. The Planetarium at University of Texas at Arlington's summer schedule runs through September 1, afternoons Monday through Saturday and Thursday evenings starting at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults; $4 for kids and seniors and $3.50 per person for groups of 10 or more. Call 817-272-0123 or visit www.uta.edu/planetarium.
Mondays-Saturdays, 2 p.m.; Thursdays, 7 p.m. Starts: June 7. Continues through Sept. 1
