Space Frontier Week
Celebrating the History of Space Flight at LSM
As the history of human space travel goes, this week is a big one! To celebrate the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, we've got a full schedule of activities. We call it Space Frontier Week. Explore our Leaving Earth exhibit, learn about meteorites, see space flight models, catch a planetarium show or join us for a special event this week! It's sure to be a blast!
Planetarium Marathon
July 17-19 • Lafayette Science Museum
Enjoy seven planetarium programs a day for three days in a row! And the only programs that will repeat are our regular 4:00 p.m. 'Sky Tonight' programs! Some programs will be designed for children while most will be for the general public. Topics include constellations, telescopes, planets, stars, galaxies, space flight, and more - pick your preference or see 'em all!
Planet-Palooza!
July 20 • 8pm-10:30pm • Parc International
Don't miss Planet-Palooza! Mars will be at its closest to Earth since 2003 in July. No, it won't look as big as the moon, but it will be bright and easy to see in a telescope. As will Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn - with a chance of seeing Mercury as we start. So, we're making an evening of it!
