Von Braun Astronomical Society

We Host a Public Planetarium Show Every Saturday in the Wernher von Braun Planetarium that Begins at 7:30 PM

The Mars Rovers - Saturdays, August 4, 18, & 25 at 7:30 PM

Orbiters and Landers and Rovers, Oh My! What’s happening on Mars? Join us as we take a virtual look around and learn what current research is teaching us about the Red Planet. Presented by VBAS Vice-President, Beth Bero.

Perseid Meteors and Comets - Saturday, August 11 at 7:30 PM 

What makes up a comet? What is the difference between a meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite? Where do these come from? Can I hold a meteorite? Come to this show and bring your questions with you. We will answer these questions and more in our Saturday night show. For some strange reason, this presenter needs help from children. So bring your kids to this "family friendly" show. Presented by veteran VBAS presenter, Brenda Rogers.

Admission is $5 for Adults, $3 for Students, and free for children under 6, as well as VBAS members. Weather permitting, you will have the opportunity to look at some of the wonders of the universe through our telescopes following the planetarium program with the help of our experienced and knowledgeable observing crew.
