Public Planetarium Showing to Honor 25th Anniversary of Hubble Telescope

Framingham State’s Christa McAuliffe Center is hosting a special planetarium program to honor the 25th Anniversary of the launching of the Hubble Telescope.

Entitled “25 Years of Hubble,” the two programs will take place on Friday, May 29.

A show reserved for families with children age 11 and younger will start at 5:30 p.m. and a second show for the general public will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The programs are free, but registration is required.

People can register at: http://christa.org/public-events/

About the show: ”We have just passed the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, a household name all over the world, that has been exciting the public’s imagination since launch. The staff of the McAuliffe Center will guide planetarium audiences through a retrospective of the remarkable discoveries of NASA’s first Great Observatory and make them marvel at the greatest imagery of the universe that the world has ever known!”

The Christa McAuliffe Center, located on the campus of Framingham State University began offering free planetarium shows for the community in later 2014. The Center plans to offer a couple of summer planetarium shows, too.
