After closing for the holidays, the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium at SFCC will reopen Friday night, but admission is no longer free.

Laurent Pellerin, the director of the planetarium, said tickets will cost ,4 for adults and ,3 for children and senior citizens.

Those with a SFCC ID and children under three years old will still get in free.

The reopening will kick off at 7 p.m. with a show called "Southern Nights." The show teaches audience members how to identify constellations and planets in the skies over North Central Florida.

Following the show, the planetarium will host a concert featuring music from four genres: techno, rave, dance and club.

Three-D animations will be shown on the dome screen to accompany the music. Concert tickets cost ,10.

On Saturday at 5 p.m., the planetarium will show "Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity," a high-resolution animation about the formation of the universe, the birth and death of stars and the collision of giant galaxies.

The production is narrated by Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson and will not be shown in any other Florida planetariums, Pellerin said.

Trailers for the new shows can be viewed on the planetarium Web site, www.sfcc.edu/planetarium.
