Keep your eyes on the evening skies for a full moon TOMORROW! It should be no surprise that Native Americans named the February full moon the Snow Moon. Why? Because the heaviest shows usually fell during this month. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon
We have a few calendars left! $10 each and they include tons of breath-taking images, space history information, and upcoming astronomy events.
Stop by the planetarium to pick yours up!

Turn your eyes to the winter skies! Sirius the Dog Star blazes well up in the southeast by mid-evening. It's the brightest star of Canis Major. Through the light pollution, only his 5 brightest stars are easily visible. These form the Meat Cleaver.

"In case you didn't know, the moon reaches the new moon phase tonight! Therefore, if the weather cooperates, it would be an ideal night for stargazing! You don't NEED to use anything fancy to see some cool stuff, just your eyes, a sky map/star finder, and some patience!
Today, 1-28, is known as Christa McAuliffe Day. Christa McAuliffe made history as the 1st teacher & civilian to go to space. Unfortunately, McAuliffe was aboard the Challenger shuttle when it experienced a catastrophic event taking the lives of the entire crew on January 28, 1986
It's Moon Fact Monday! 2025 will be a fun year for our Moon. We will see 12 full moons, 3 supermoons, & 2 lunar eclipses. In fall 2025, the moon will be the focus of the Artemis II mission! Be sure to keep your eye on the night skies (& our social media!) for more info.
Here's the schedule for the week! And, a new pair of Saturday shows to celebrate February!
