Free Planetarium Shows at McAuliffe Center Wednesday

There is a show geared for elementary-aged children and their families, and one for teens and adults.

The Christa McAuliffe Center is offering two free planetarium shows on Wednesday, July 22.

The topic this month is Location, Location, Location: Earth’s Place in the Solar System

“You may have heard that Earth orbits the Sun in a region called ‘the Goldilocks Zone’. So does that mean you should never leave the house without a can of bear repellent at your side? No, it just means we’re special.”
