These events are free, but because of occupancy limitations in the planetarium, we require guests to make reservations via UBMe. Follow this link to see the events and register.
The planetarium is located in the beautiful new Leggett Building on the Takoma Park campus of Montgomery College. The street address is 7615 Fenton St, Takoma Park, MD 20912. The registration links above will provide you with details on directions and parking.
Each show will be given by a live presenter, either me or my colleague, Dr. Harold Williams. If it's clear after the event, we'll stargaze on the Takoma Park campus with one or more of our small telescopes. No matter what, you'll leave with a star chart and the ability to find celestial objects on your own.
And if you are missing observatory events, never fear, they will be back! We have plans to host at least observatory night this coming November. We'll ramp up again in the Spring semester. Right now, most of my attention is focused on the getting the planetarium programming up and running.
