From October 4, the anniversary of Sputnik 1's launch, to October 10, the anniversary of the Outer Space Treaty, we will be hosting eight stellar programs for all ages. Talk with a local astronomer about the James Webb Space Telescope, make space crafts, watch a space movie in surround sound, learn more about our closest planetary neighbor, and much more!
