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!
Did you know there will be a Lunar Eclipse in just a few weeks?! A total lunar eclipse will be visible from the entire continental US the evening of March 13th. It will start at approximately 11pm our time & will run until 5am on Friday. The maximum eclipse is at about 1:58am!
"Dynamic Earth" will be featured for our public show at 11am today. If you haven't yet, it is a must see planetarium show!
Join us for the show and the live star talk to check out what's happening in our winter night sky!

Weren't able to catch it yesterday? Tonight's another chance to check out the planetary alignment! Clear skies permitting, ALL 7 planets will be in the sky just after sunset, around 5:37pm. Some will be very low, close to the western horizon, so check in that direction first.
Cool planetary alignment TODAY! Clear skies permitting, ALL 7 planets will be in the sky just after sunset, @ approx. 5:36pm. Some will be very low, close to the western horizon, so look in that direction first. Remember, it is best to use a telescope to see Uranus & Neptune.
Enjoy these last few day of February! March begins on Saturday and with that...two new Saturday planetarium shows!
Have a great week!

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!
