Earth, Moon, and Sun
3:30pm to 4:30pm @
Charles W. Brown Planetarium, Ball State University
2111 West Riverside Avenue
Coyote has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors. His confusion about the universe makes viewers think about how Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system and learn to distinguish between myths and science. Learn the basics of fusion and solar energy and why the Sun rises and sets.
Best suited for families and groups with kids ages 8+, all ages are welcome.- Saturn & Beyond 5:00pm to 6:00pm @ Charles W. Brown Planetarium, Ball State University 2111 West Riverside Avenue
Saturn’s rings are one of the most beautiful sights in the solar system. They can be seen clearly even with a small backyard telescope. Astronomers have known about these rings for over 400 years, yet they still present many questions. In 2004 the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe reached Saturn. During this show we will explore the mysterious features seen by these spacecraft.
