Join us for a stellar evening as we learn about the night sky from our friends at the Vanderbilt Museum. This new collaboration will bring the Vanderbilt’s mobile planetarium to the main hall at The Church, with two showings of Stars: The Powerhouses of the Universe narrated by Mark Hamill. After each showing, the stellar exploration continues outside, as guests are led to telescopes set up in our garden (weather permitting). The event is timed for maximum possibility of viewing Saturn and the Earth’s moon, which are expected to be visible at that time. Learn, explore, and have fun with our guests, Planetarium Director Dave Bush, Planetarium Outreach Coordinator Rachel Goralski, and Astronomy Educator Britteny Mickaliger.
While space, the final frontier, may be far from limited, capacity for this event is. Reserving tickets in advance guarantees you entrance to your designated showing and time with the telescopes. Recommended for ages 9 and up. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
