June 6th – Magic Carpet
Our star projector can help us pretend to fly anywhere on Earth – like a magic carpet! See the motion of the stars across the sky at the equator, north pole, and southern hemisphere. 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! We will put the star projector to work and use it to show its unique educational capabilities.
Presented by Gena Crook
June 13th – Birds of the Night
There are nine birds in the constellations of the night sky. Here in Alabama we can only see three of them. We’ll use our star projector to travel very, very far south and look for the “southern birds.” Perhaps you’ll learn something new about an exotic bird or two. Families welcome.

June 20th – Summer Skies
Join us on a cosmic journey, navigating our summer skies: the stars, the constellations, many beautiful deep sky objects, and perhaps even some historical tales about them. We will also use our sky dome simulation projector to show where in the sky all these are located.
