Observe the Moon Family Night
Take one giant leap to the Delta College Planetarium on Friday, July 24 at 6pm for a free, family-friendly event honoring the anniversary of the first manned lunar landing.
Start the night in the Grand Atrium Lobby with hands-on activities for all ages, then head into the Dome360 Theater at 7pm for a live, immersive show all about our closest celestial neighbor.
Planetarium Manager Mike Murray will guide you on a virtual tour of the lunar surface, showing what you can spot through binoculars and telescopes while sharing exciting updates from recent space missions, including Artemis II.
After the show, if the skies cooperate, step out onto the rooftop observation deck for a real-life look at the Moon through telescopes, with help from the Delta College Astronomy Club.
The activities and planetarium show will run regardless of the weather, only the telescope viewing depends on clear skies.
