As Mars comes around for a close approach to Earth, the 黄瓜视频 Planetarium
invites you to celebrate the phenomenon with a captivating evening all about the Red
Planet. All ages are welcome to engage in fun, hands-on activities, demonstrations,
a live planetarium show and telescope observation from the best view in Downtown Bay
City鈥攖he planetarium rooftop.
The festivities begin in the Grand Atrium Lobby with activity tables and demonstrations. At
7pm, move to the Dome360 Theater for an immersive presentation of 鈥淒ateline: Mars鈥�
led by Planetarium Manager Mike Murray. This remarkable show provides a guided tour
of Mars, which includes the latest insights from spacecraft and tips on how best to
observe the rocky planet from Earth.
鈥淢ars and Earth approach each other every 26 months, and some of those close passes
are better than others,鈥� says Murray. 鈥淢ars won鈥檛 get this close to Earth again until
2031, and so it鈥檚 a good time to enjoy it through telescopes or online as there are
many resources available.鈥�
The sky-observing portion of the event is dependent upon suitable weather conditions,
but the indoor shows and activities will run rain, snow or shine. This event is free
and open to the public.
