The DuPont Planetarium is currently showing “Mission to Mars” at 7:00 and 8:00 pm. The planetarium is now open every Saturday. Dates for the shows are September 6, 13, 20, 27. Tickets are $4.50 Adults, $3.50 Senior, $2.50 Students 4K-12 grade.

Join us on a “Mission to Mars” in the comfort of our planetarium! Launch videos will propel us from Earth; then we’ll zoom through space to Mars using NASA images and our Digistar projector. Learn about space travel; compare the surface features and rock types on Mars with Earth’s geology and view the Martian night sky.
At the end of the show we will take a look at the constellations that can now be seen in the night sky around our area.
