10 and 17 at 8-9 p.m. - Astrophotography.
Photography, or “drawing with light” in Greek, is a term coined long ago. A picture tells a thousand words and the night sky is full of objects ready to capture, but how can we do it? |

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Regular programs are not suitable for children under 5 years old. |

7 at 8-9 p.m. - Backyard Astronomy. Enjoy a live presentation of the current skies in the Planetarium and an outdoor viewing of the night sky, if weather permits.
14 at 8-9 p.m. Astronomy with Binoculars. Binoculars are highly versatile instruments that can reveal craters on the moon, on the moons orbiting Jupiter, the Milky Way star fields, and even other galaxies. In many ways, binoculars prove superior to telescopes for those staring out in astronomy. Come to the planetarium to learn why sometimes two eyes are better than one.
21 at 8-9 p.m. The Lost World of the Ancient Maya. The intriguing field of Archaeoastronomy. The study of ancient peoples' observation of the skies and its role in their cultural evolution; the evidence that people have used astronomy as the model for injecting order and predictability on their behavior and on life. |
