波胆平台 Planetarium, Bruner Hall of Science
Details:

The Milky Way births roughly seven new stars every year and even though stars are very hot and bright, they form in very cold and dark places. Join us to learn the basics of how stars are born, the evolutionary processes that they undergo as they age, and techniques that scientists use to find and study them. 

Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 9/27. http://unk-planetarium.ticketleap.com/

In conjunction with the show, the 波胆平台 Astronomy Club will hold telescope observing outside of Bruner Hall of Science @ 8:00 PM (subject to weather conditions).

Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches, remove lighted shoes, etc., so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark, quiet environment. Please arrive 5 minutes before your show, or ticket reservations may be released to allow for walk-in attendees.
