We're less than a month away from our @dockhoundsbaseball HoundsCare fundraising game on June 16th!

We’d love for you to join us! When you purchase tickets using the QR code or link, $10 from each ticket will be donated directly to support the planetarium and its mission to remain a leading STEM destination in our community.

There’s even more opportunities for impact... if we’re one of the top two HoundsCare ticket sellers that evening, we can earn additional funds via parking fees or the 50/50 raffle. Plus, reaching certain ticket goals unlocks special perks for attendees on game day!

If you’re able to attend, we’d be thrilled to have you there! If not, please consider sharing this opportunity with friends, family, or anyone who enjoys baseball and supporting a great cause! #wherethestarshangout

A night sky with a moon, stars, and silhouettes of trees. A quote reads, "Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship."

Cover of "The Solar System Show" shows a smiling sun and planets with faces, each with different expressions.
The next two nights will be an excellent time to observe ""earthshine!"" Are you familiar?

Earthshine is a dull glow which lights up the unlit part of the Moon because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth's surface and back onto the Moon.

A crescent moon is visible against a blue sky transitioning into the darker tones of a horizon.
Jupiter has been relatively close to the constellation Gemini for weeks now. But, now another planet is heading that way....Venus! Keep an eye on the west about 1 hour after sunset to take a peek!

Ever seen Earthshine? 🌙
The next two mornings are perfect to catch this rare glow—when sunlight reflects off Earth and softly lights the Moon’s dark side. Also called the “Da Vinci glow.”

Check out this stunning example captured by Tom Wildoner (2016)!

Movie poster for "3-2-1 Liftoff!" featuring a chipmunk character in a space suit. The background includes mountains and a sky.
For the next few mornings, the moon will shine in front of the stars of the constellation Capricornus the Sea Goat. Those stars form a pattern that resembles an arrowhead. Look for them before dawn. The constellation is faint so you’ll likely need a dark sky. SOURCE: earthsky.org
