TEACHERS! We know you are wrapping up this year. But, have you considered booking your field trip(s) for NEXT school year? We have several classes who have already reserved their field trip dates for 24-25! Come visit us for the 1st time or your annual trip with your kiddos.
As we wrap up May, just a quick reminder that NEXT WEEK, we start our summer schedule of having 2 SHOWS on Wednesdays! Check us out at either 11am or 1pm each Wednesday thru August. So, more great options to check out shows at the Horwitz-DeRemer Planetarium! Hope 2 C U soon!
Would you like to see your name in the stars? New ceiling tiles were installed early this month, thanks to generous donations from planetarium supporters. Feel free to ask us how YOU can get your name in the stars!

Whether you saw them or not, it's ok! Because tomorrow, you can join us for a new planetarium show, "Aurora's Lights of Wonder."
Full moon tonight! May is most notable for being the turning point in the year where (finally!) temperatures rise & a vast variety of flowers come into full bloom, letting the world break out into a riot of color. As such, May’s full moon is known as the Full Flower Moon.
