Join us for a beginner’s astronomy program featuring a short talk by a local expert, hands-on activities or demonstrations, a planetarium show with our historic Korkosz starball and brand-new Zeiss projector, and stargazing in our rooftop observatory. Recommended for ages 8 and older.
This Month’s Topic: Pluto & Friends
Tonight we’ll learn about the objects that are smaller than planets in our solar system. Dwarf planets, asteroids, and space dust are important parts of our solar system that are frequently overlooked and sometimes hard to see from space. How do these objects affect us from thousands of miles away and what effects will they have on the future of our solar system?
Due to the popularity of this program, registration is required.
