The Sky Tonight (Planetarium Show)

Embark on a captivating tour of the night sky as seen from our area, featuring visible planets, bright stars, seasonal constellations, periodic comets, upcoming rocket launches, and more!

In August, the Sun sets in the direction of the center of our galaxy—a region filled with stars, glowing gas, and dark dust. Hidden deep within it is a black hole four million times the mass of the Sun. Learn about the remarkable details that astronomers have uncovered—even capturing an image of the turbulent gases swirling around it.

As darkness falls on September evenings, the Milky Way stretches high across the sky in a luminous arch. With its glow so clearly visible, it’s the perfect time to trace the shapes of both light and shadow that our imaginations have drawn from this celestial haze.

Recommended for ages 8+; 60-minute live and interactive show. Advance ticket purchase is encouraged.
