Calling everyone who wants to shoot for the stars … you are invited to explore the solar system with the power of imagination. Come along with two children and a talking astronomy book as they take a tour of the solar system (including a stop at Pluto) and learn about each of the planets along the way.
The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 in the Carmel High School Planetarium. Enter through the main entrance of the school on Main Street, walk past the Dale Graham Auditorium, and turn right. Doors will open 30 minutes before show time. No one will be admitted after the program begins. Children aged 12 years and under should be accompanied by an adult.
Why are the worlds of the inner solar system known as “rocky worlds”? What would it be like to fly through the storms of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn? Find out, along with information about what makes each planet unique, in this fully immersive voyage of discovery, suitable for students of all ages.
The planetarium star projector will also be used to simulate the night sky locally, and then you’ll be immersed in an environment as if there was no light pollution. After the show, if weather permits, telescopes will be set up outside the entrance of CHS for the public and students to use to view the night sky. This will be a fun and educational journey for the entire family.
Tickets are available in advance at the CHS Bookstore from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning Monday, Nov. 7. Tickets for adults are $4 and $2 for children, senior citizens, and CHS students.
