Wonders Far and Near: From Deep Space to Our Autumn Sky

Stunning images from the world's biggest scopes plus a tour of our fall night sky presented live with our amazing starball.
About this Event

We'll begin with the splendor and science behind recent images from cutting-edge telescopes, including the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the space-based James Webb Space Telescope. From the birthplaces of stars to colliding galaxies, these images are as scientifically rich as they are stunning. We'll then turn to our own autumn sky with a live tour led by our Planetarium Educator, who will share the basics of finding your way around the fall sky and the stories behind the season's constellations.

Program length is one hour.
