7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Smith Lab Roof (above the planetarium in Smith 5033)

Celebrate Global Astronomy Month with us as we host our part of the Global Star Party on April 28th. We will have planetarium shows starting at 7 pm on the half-hour showing what is up in the sky. This will happen rain or shine. The roof will then be open if it is clear enough to see anything and there is no chance for rain to affect the telescopes. There is no registration necessary for this event.

Recap

Thank you all for coming. We were able to run shows until almost 10pm. We will do more in the future but this event was wildly successful!

 

Weather Update

As of 5pm on 4/27, the weather tomorrow is typical Ohio for any star party we schedule. So it is very unlikely we will be able to pull the telescopes out tomorrow. However, we will very much have shows starting at 7pm and going until 9pm for certain. IF there is still a line of people we will continue or decide if we are wrapping up. We will be posting on this page any updates. So guaranteed planetarium shows on the half hour starting at 7pm.
