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: Here Comes the Sun
Do astronomers observe on sunny days? Of course! Kick off an astronomical summer by getting to know our closest star better! Why does summer in New England get so hot? What can learning about the Sun teach us about other stars? What exactly is a yellow dwarf star how does it measure up when compared to a white dwarf for a red giant?
Due to the popularity of this program, registration is required.
