Free planetarium show: The Aurora

June 6, 2025
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Copernicus Hall, Room 211

Have you ever seen the dancing lights in the northern sky? What makes this atmospheric phenomenon so mysterious? Join us for a celebration of the night sky at our next free public planetarium show!

Doors to the planetarium will open 30 minutes before the advertised show time. Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the show begins as the presentation starts promptly and there is no late admittance. If skies are clear after the show, we invite you to join us for observing of the real night sky through telescopes.
