Check out the 'Dark Side of the Moon' at YHC Planetarium
Young Harris, GA (04/11/2025) — What better way to enjoy Pink Floyd's iconic "Dark Side Of The Moon" than in a planetarium? And thanks to Young Harris College, you can do just that on May 2 at the O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium on campus.
Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon: 50 Years in a Heartbeat: Friday, May 2, at 7 & 8 p.m.:
Pink Floyd's iconic album 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' was originally released in March 1973, and what more fitting a place to celebrate it and experience it than in a planetarium, through the music set to visuals. With the help of modern technology, the idea of a show combining breathtaking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' in surround sound, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative has led the visual production efforts, working closely with Pink Floyd's long-time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis.
Each song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd's visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up-to-the-minute technology that only a planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of reality.
O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium features shows for the general public on select Friday evenings. Tickets for shows can be purchased at the door with cash or check.
