Join us for a movie " Small Town Universe" and complimentary popcorn on July 11 from 7-9pm. If the skies are clear we will stargaze after the movie.

SMALL TOWN UNIVERSE explores life in Green Bank, West Virginia - a remote community located inside the National Radio Quiet Zone , where there are restrictions on wireless technology, like cell phones and Wi-Fi, to preserve the work of the Green Bank Telescope. The Green Bank Telescope is the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope. The film traces the telescope’s history and role in the search for extraterrestrial life, the STEM opportunities it offers rural students, and the community’s fight to protect it when funding is threatened.

Tickets are $5 - the popcorn is free!

Planetarium Shows - May 15 and 16

AMAZING ASTRONOMERS OF ANTIQUITY

The seven most AMAZING ASTRONOMERS OF ANTIQUITY are responsible for most of the astronomy we still use everyday: watching sunrises, sunsets and the phasing moon; counting days, months and years; predicting the seasons and eclipses; gazing at the stars overhead and even reading horoscopes. Join in celebrating these amazing discoveries.

An additional short movie on Summer stargazing is included.

If the skies are clear after the movies we will use the telescopes.
