What do you associate with Halloween? Trick-or-Treating, costumes… astronomy? After all, Halloween is an astronomical holiday.  During this planetarium program you will learn the history of Halloween and how it fits into the seasons as a “cross-quarter day.”

We will also explore the night sky and learn what planets, constellations, and stars will be out on your Halloween evening. Suitable for all ages 8+, all ages are welcome. A spooky science activity will be setup before shows.
