AUGUST 4th
6:30 p.m. – “ACCIDENTAL ASTRONAUTS” This is our family show. All ages may attend. Follow the adventures of Cy and Annie and their dog Armstrong as they embark on an unexpected journey into space! Explore the Earth, Sun and Moon system with a wise-cracking starship computer. Bounce along with them on the surface of the Moon. Get up close and personal with a solar storm. Show duration: 40 minutes. Tickets go on sale at 6:00 p.m.

8:00 p.m. – PLANETARIUM GUEST SPEAKER – Science Series

9:30 p.m. – DOUBLE FEATURE, “SECRET LIVES OF STARS” AND “VIOLENT UNIVERSE”
“SECRET LIVES OF STARS” – Children must be 6 and above to attend. Not all stars are created equal. Some are massive. Others are tiny; almost insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die. We will witness the amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives.

“VIOLENT UNIVERSE” – Children must be 6 and above to attend. The beauty of a starlit sky conceals the violent forces at work within our universe. From the upheaval of a giant star that explodes to release its material into space, to a future encounter between the Earth and a large asteroid that passes too close for comfort, we will witness that hold the universe together and occasionally try to rip it apart. Show duration for double feature: 1 hour. Tickets go on sale at 9:00pm.
