Keep your eyes on the evening skies from July 11-14 to take a peek at Mercury. It will set about 60–80 minutes after the Sun. So, if you have a clear view to the W-NW, try looking barely ten degrees above the horizon 40 minutes after sunset. This could be your best chance!
A lot of new and fun gift shop items have arrived! Come check them out as some of the items are truly out of this world.
In case you didn't know, all proceeds from gift shop sales go back to the planetarium for upgrades, programs, and even new shows!

Today, the Earth is the farthest away from the Sun. Or, also known as at the aphelion point. This always happens two weeks after the June solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. So, know that the sun is 94.5 million miles away today!

Today marks the last Saturday of June & the final showing of these 2 great shows for a bit. In addition, we will offer these shows with open captioning. Open captioning is always offered the last Saturday of every month (and per request!).
Hope to see you under the dome!
When it comes to viewing our planets in the evening sky, it has been awhile...
If you want to give it a try, there's a chance that you could see Mercury soon (June 29-30). Keep in mind, the best time to view Mercury is typically brief, as it sets about an hour after the Sun.
Tonight, you can witness the LATEST sunset of the year. The sun will officially set at 8:35pm. Enjoy each moment of this summer, because our days will slowly continue to shorten, day by day, through December.
