Not all shows at the Fujitsu Planetarium are for astronomy nerds. Every Saturday, 20 or so individuals listen and watch a display of laser lights to either The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and other known classic artists.

“Come see a show.” said Pete Holley, one of the the laserists. “If you like music, lasers will make it even better.” 

For a good hour, a single laser keeps listeners mesmerized as they view an interpretation of vibrant spirals and psychedelic animations above them. Lasers are the most powerful light source on Earth, so it’s no wonder people attend shows for their firework personality and intriguing color spectrum. 

“What I really enjoy most, really, I have to say, was the really detailed illustrations like with the airplanes,” Matthew Weeman said, after watching a Pink Floyd show Jan. 14.

For Dion Keys, the emotions of the music made it enjoyable. “It took me back because I use to listen to Pink Floyd with my uncle and stuff, and it kind of brought me back, way back, and just made me contemplate a whole bunch of stuff.”

But one doesn’t need to be a Pink Floyd or U2 fan to enjoy the show either, as some audience members expressed that it was a “cool” and “fascinating” show aside from the music. Matthew Weeman also mentioned that he doesn’t usually listen to Pink Floyd. 

“I would recommend it to, like, half the school.” Weeman said.”I would go back for sure.”
