April 5th – Telescopes in Space
We will explore the fascinating world of space-based telescopes and how they allow us to see the universe in ways our eyes alone cannot. By diving into the electromagnetic spectrum, we’ll uncover how different wavelengths of light reveal a more complete picture of the cosmos. Join us as we journey through the night sky, discovering how each part of the spectrum helps us unlock the secrets of the universe!
Presented by Abbie Cone
April 12th – Magic Carpet
We can use the star projector in the planetarium to pretend to fly anywhere on Earth – like a magic carpet! Gena Crook will demonstrate the motion of the stars across the sky at the equator, the north pole, and the southern hemisphere. We will also watch how the sun changes positions at these locations. You may be surprised if you haven’t actually been to the equator or the north pole in person! This program will put the star projector to work and allow us to see its unique educational capabilities.

April 19th – Volcanoes!
Volcanoes are awesome! Who doesn’t love seeing film of a massive volcanic explosion or rivers of burning hot lava? But, did you know Earth isn’t the only planet with volcanoes? And, did you know some volcanoes are not hot but incredibly cold? Come to this show and you will have a blast learning about the solar system’s amazing volcanoes!
