Free Public UNK Planetarium Show: As Seen On TV

Is it actually possible to Jam in space? What is the length of the Kessel Run? Can you really outrun the Moon’s terminator? In this presentation we will discuss astronomy topics seen in television, movies, and pop culture. Did they get it right, or should they have talked to an expert?

Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 8/29.

In conjunction with the show, the UNK Astronomy Club will hold telescope observingoutside of Bruner Hall of Science @ 8:00 PM(weather permitting).
