Star Stories: A Tour of the Night Sky - Free Public Planetarium Show
Modern astronomers use 88 constellations to systematically name stars and designate regions of the sky. These objects are formed by bright stars in our sky that appear to be close to each other. Many of these constellations held specific cultural importance to different civilizations. We will look at several constellations and discuss the myths and legends they are associated with.Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults.
Guaranteed seating can be reserved for free. Ticketing opens one week prior to each show. Walk-in seating will be available 5 minutes prior to each show at the presenter's discretion.
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under.
