Each month visitors may choose from a selection of Main Features and other programs, including a concert and children's show. It may sound depressing, but the program provokes thought about solutions. Through the Eyes of Hubble , narrated by Star Trek's Gates McFadden, explores the fascinating breakthroughs made by the famous space telescope. Star of Bethlehem recreates the sky as it appeared 2,000 years ago and uses the latest historical evidence to examine a number of events which might have been the Christmas Star.
Adults can take credit and non-credit courses in astronomy and related subjects.
Membership is available in Friends of the Planetarium and the Astronomy Club , each offering a variety of activities and benefits. School Groups can participate in the Planetarium's Astronomy and Space Curriculum, designed to be delivered as a series of eleven programs throughout the years children attend grades 1 through 6. A wide range of astronomical subjects are presented progressively, from introductory levels covering our own sun and moon, to advanced levels exploring the possibilities of intelligent life in the universe. Teachers are provided with a comprehensive manual to help coordinate classroom study with Planetarium visits. The above programs can also be taken individually, as can several Constellation Programs.
