Join HMNS for a special evening viewing of "Starry Night Express" in the newly upgraded Tru 8K Burke Baker Planetarium, plus remarks by the scientists and Q&A.
Dr. Carolyn Sumners, HMNS VP of Astronomy, will give you a guided tour of the night sky--without the insects and heat of the great outdoors. She will transport you from our city horizon with enough light pollution to steal all but the brightest stars, planets, and the Moon. Dr. Sumners will outline the constellations and add artwork to the star patterns helping you visualize the figures the constellations are named for.
