Astronomy: The Planets

The ancients knew five planets in our sky, but did not understand their nature.  How did humankind come to know what these “wandering stars” actually are?  Jim Hahn will guide us on an exploration of the planets and how our knowledge of them has progressed over the centuries, especially with the advent of telescopes and deep-space probes.  This program will take place entirely outdoors, so please dress warmly.

This program will take place entirely outdoors. We will practice social distancing when we are able to, but because of the nature of small-group programming, it will not always be possible. For the health and safety of all, participants must wear a mask when you are within six feet of others. Please do not attend if you are sick or believe you have been exposed to the virus. See our latest COVID-19 updates here.
