What do you associate with Halloween? Trick-or-Treating, costumes… astronomy? After all, Halloween is an astronomical holiday! Learn the history of Halloween and how it fits into the seasons as a “cross-quarter day.” Also explore the night sky and learn what planets, constellations, and stars will be out on your Halloween evening.

The show will include a live portion including current night sky highlights along with visual tours of some incredible features of the solar system and the universe. Following the live portion of the show, the feature film will be presented on the dome theatre for a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
