    2025 date TBD
    • Adult and high school student teams
    • Four members per team
    • Registration is $100 per team

    Astronomy Night

    Each Fall and Spring, BASF Planetarium hosts Astronomy Night. Our local advocational astronomers set up their telescopes and hands-on astronomy activities in the parking lot of The Center for the Arts & Sciences. When the skies are clear, participants are encouraged to view celestial objects in our night sky.

    In addition to the telescopes and related activities, the planetarium will present short shows periodically throughout the events. Astronomy Night takes place “rain or shine” and is FREE to the public! 

    Stay tuned for future Astronomy Night dates!
