6:00pm Feature Show:  Earth Moon Sun

Friday Nights 6:00pm

This planetarium show explores the relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun with the help of Coyote, an amusing character adapted from Native American oral traditions who has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors.

His confusion about the universe makes viewers think about how the Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system. Native American stories are used throughout the show to help distinguish between myths and science.

Recommended for age 4 and above.

8:00pm Feature Show:Stars
