Ad for Astronaut show at Planetarium

Homeschool Open House: The Small Stuff (Asteroids, Comets & Meteors, Oh My!) and Astronaut film

Wednesday, October 9 from 10:30am – 11:45am

FREE

Space Systems contain much more than Stars (like our Sun) and planets (like the ones in our solar system). The smaller celestial bodies in our solar system teach us a great deal about the formation of our solar system, and give us a deeper understanding of the larger bodies in our solar system.

This Live show will be followed by the 24-min film, Astronaut.

The exploration of space is the greatest endeavor that humankind has ever undertaken. What does it take to be part of this incredible journey? What does it take to become an astronaut?

Experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut. Explore the amazing worlds of inner and outer space, from floating around the International Space Station to maneuvering through microscopic regions of the human body.

Discover the perils that lurk in space as we subject ‘Chad’, our test astronaut, to everything that space has to throw at him.

Show running time: ~75 min.

NGSS Science Standards covered include, but are not limited to:

  • ESS1A:  The Universe and its Stars
  • Space Systems: Stars and the Solar System
