Join the Bell for its next Star Party! Outside, telescopes will be set up to observe favorite deep space objects (weather permitting). Inside, an expert astronomy team will guide you through the night sky and highlight cosmic sights in the planetarium (Open captioning and ASL Interpretation) and you can explore different hands-on activities.
This month, you’ll take a closer look at lichen! How do lichen and space connect? Stop by to find out!
