Announcements

Planetarium shuts down early. Public shows were originally scheduled to continue through June 21, but some problems with our climate control have forced us to terminate public programs earlier than expected. Public programs will begin again some time in mid-September. We apologize to those of you who planned to see "Cosmic Catastrophes" or "Laser Nirvana" in the next two weeks. We hope you will return next fall.
