- One World, One Sky: Big Bird’s Adventure 3:30pm to 4:30pm @ Charles W. Brown Planetarium, Ball State University 2111 West Riverside Avenue
"One World, One Sky" is a brilliant program that follows Sesame Street's Big Bird and Elmo as they explore the night sky with Hu Hu Zhu, a new friend from China. Together, they take an imaginary trip from Sesame Street to the moon, where they discover how different it is from Earth. They will also find shapes in the sky that will help them find the North Star. This cross-cultural adventure opens children's eyes to the sky, helping them see how people all over the world are connected.
Best suited for families and groups with pre-K through 1st grade learners, all ages are welcome.- The Christmas Star 5:00pm to 6:00pm @ Charles W. Brown Planetarium, Ball State University 2111 West Riverside Avenue
Over the years many people have tried to explain the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem, as described in the Bible. Can the star be explained as an exploding star, a comet, or some other natural event in the sky? Potential natural explanations for the Star of Bethlehem and common modern-day misconceptions will be discussed.
Suitable for all ages 10+, all ages are welcome.- Holidays at Gresham 6:00pm to 9:00pm @ Suzanne Gresham Center 3620 W. White River Boulevard, Muncie Indiana 47304
