Tuesday January 20, 7:00pm at the Grand Rapids Public Museum's Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium
Dr. Shannon Schmoll, Director of Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, has been a leader in astronomy education for many years. Her summary of recent astronomical advances and discoveries is always a highly anticipated feature at the annual Great Lakes Planetarium Association conference. A lot happened in 2025, and Shannon is the ideal person to share those highlights at our first meeting of the new year.
