Looking Out: A Summer Journey Through Space
Step inside the mobile planetarium for a guided journey through the summer night sky. We’ll begin close to home, exploring some of the stars, constellations, and celestial sights visible during summer evenings. But before long, we’ll zoom outward into space itself, discovering that our familiar seasonal sky is more than a ceiling above us, it is our window into a vast neighborhood of stars within the Milky Way and beyond.
This immersive 30-minute experience blends astronomy, perspective, and exploration into a fast-moving voyage across the cosmos.
