It’s a busy month at BASF Planetarium in April, so don’t miss out on all the fun! Tickets to most planetarium shows are $5/adults and $3/children, except as noted below.
Kick off the month with us on Saturday, April 1 at Spring Astronomy Night from 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM. This FREE event will feature night sky viewing via a variety of telescopes and star talks in the planetarium dome every 30 minutes.
The brand new April planetarium show is Trailblazer of Heavens: Caroline Herschel and will be shown at 7:00 PM on Tuesdays (April 4, 11, 18 & 25) and the fourth Friday (April 28) in the planetarium. See how Caroline Herschel, working closely with her brother, helped discover Uranus and became the first woman to discover a comet. This tiny astronomer overcame challenges throughout her life and left her mark as a giant in astronomy.
