Statewide Star Party at the Bell!

Dates

About

Recommended for all ages

Across the state, people will be looking up at the sky this weekend and learning about our state’s official constellation during the Bell Museum’s Statewide Star Party. Find an event at sites across the state, or join us at the Bell on Friday night for our own Star Party!

Outside, we’ll have our telescopes set up to observe our favorite deep space objects (weather permitting). Inside, you can learn about the life of massive stars like Polaris and make art inspired by them. We’ll also have short, free planetarium shows on a first-come, first-served basis!

Planetarium show: Our Northern Skies
Showtimes: 8:10 pm, 8:40 pm, 9:40 pm
ASL Interpretation and Open Captioning included for all shows

Registration is requested to receive updates regarding this event through Eventbrite.

PLEASE NOTE: Your Eventbrite registration is not a planetarium show ticket. You can retrieve a planetarium ticket from the front desk at the Star Party.
