Dome@Home: September 4

There will NOT be a Dome@Home episode in August, as it’s being moved back a week due to scheduling conflicts, so join us for our first September Dome@Home episode on Thursday, September 4! We’ll focus on the ringed planet Saturn, which reaches its best this month. We’ll address Saturn’s “disappearing rings” and the recent discovery of 128 new moons (added to the 146 existing ones – that's a lotta moons!).

We’ll also take a look at some of the Perseid meteor pictures you sent in, chat about what’s up in the sky, and other cool space stuff.

Tune in live on Thursday, September 4, at 7 pm, here on Facebook or at Youtube.com/ManitobaMuseum

Dome@Home is a FREE virtual show inviting Manitobans to explore the universe with Manitoba Museum Planetarium Astronomer Scott Young. Get to know the stars with us on the last Thursday of every month at 7 pm Central.
