Science meets cinematic storytelling at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The Jim and Linda Lee Planetarium at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott Campus has premiered its first original short film, "The Last Symphony of Light."

Produced in an immersive 8K "fulldome" format in collaboration with Double Dome Films, this cinematic production takes audiences on a journey through billions of years of cosmic evolution. Backed by an orchestral score recorded at the Vienna Synchron Stage, the film serves as a proof of concept for global distribution while laying the groundwork for a new Fulldome Student Research and Production Lab on campus.

How safe is commercial air travel compared to everyday activities?

A new study from the Embry-Riddle Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety evaluates U.S. commercial aviation risks alongside common hazards. Lead author Dr. Mihhail Berezovski and researchers aggregated data to provide a transparent framework for evaluating travel safety, concluding that fatal events in commercial aviation remain exceedingly rare.

Dreams take flight at Embry-Riddle. 🎓

Recent graduate Zoey Hart has earned a Fulbright Study/Research Award — one of the most competitive national honors available — and will spend the next year pursuing a master's degree in space systems engineering at the University of Southampton in England. Zoey, who earned her bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, is only the second Embry-Riddle student ever to receive a Fulbright award.

Her path there included research at Polytechnique Montreal, an NSF undergraduate research program at Penn State, a flight operations internship at Empire Airlines, and work on Embry-Riddle's Pure Water Project team.
