Come downtown to the Challenger Learning Center Digital Dome Theatre and Planetarium and enjoy a free planetarium show on October 5 at 10am. "October Skies over Tallahassee" is created and presented by the Tallahassee Astronomical Society. The October sky over Tallahassee will be reviewed including prominent constellations, stars and planet positions.
The zodiac constellation Aquarius will be presented in the "Learning Constellations" segment, including what was meant by "the coming of the age of Aquarius" in the 1960's hit song "Aquarius". The non zodiac constellations of the month are Pegasus and Andromeda, which share the common star Alpheratz. Learn how to find the great Andromeda Galaxy in the "Binocular Object-of-the-Month". The Andromeda galaxy is so bright in the sky it can be seen with the unaided eye. The "Messier Objects of the Month" are M32 and M110, two dwarf galaxies of the Andromeda Galaxy. The "Astronomy Topic of the Month" is how to find satellites in the sky.
Be sure to stay for the 11:00am showing of "Black Holes." This show will be offered at 50% off the regular price for those who attend the October 5th 10:00am free planetarium show. Can't make the free planetarium show on October 5? "October Skies Over Tallahassee" will play all month as one of the menu of planetarium shows for a nominal fee.
