Drake
Planetarium is now open for the public,
offering fascinating glimpses into the
wonderful world of astronomy and space
science. Each monthly program is
divided into two parts:
- The
first section covers a particular topic
of interest, for example, the Mars
Lander, asteroids and near Earth
collisions, the International Space
Station, and the like.
- The
second part is always an introduction
into the nighttime sky. Each person is
given a free sky chart.
After
learning how to use it, they are then taught
to recognize the major constellations and
planets visible at that season of the year
