Grab your family and come see the stars! We will get to explore space and look at the constellations in STAR Lab!

This hands-on, interactive program provides a comprehensive tour of the night sky and the cosmos, suitable for all ages and levels of scientific background. Participants will move beyond simple observation to actively explore the science, history, and wonder of space.

• Planetary Exploration: Take a virtual journey through our Solar System. We will explore the characteristics of terrestrial and ice giant planets, examining geological features, atmospheres, and the fascinating collection of moons that orbit them. Discover the science behind space missions and what it takes to explore these distant worlds.

• Constellation Immersion: Master the art of stargazing. Through guided visualization and advanced projection, learn to identify the major constellations of the night sky, their associated myths and histories, and how they serve as navigational aids and celestial markers. We'll provide immediately useful skills for observing the night sky from any location.
