The Sun, the sky, the seasons: What’s it all about? Come find out!
This event has been canceled: Please check back for updates on planetarium shows!
Come celebrate and learn about the Autumnal Equinox at the UT planetarium!
On Friday, September 25, Teaching Professor Sean Lindsay will show the connection between the Sun, the sky, and the seasons. Watching the annual patterns in the sky gave rise to myths that connect humanity to the stars and gave us the power to construct calendars and predict seasonal events. Experience other cultures’ connection to the sky with full-dome short films from the One Sky Project. Stay until the end for a live sky demonstration and a question-and-answer session!
The event is free but due to limited seating reservations are required. Reserve your spot!
