Strange New Worlds: Planets Beyond Our Solar System

For centuries, the idea of planets around other stars existed only in the realm of science fiction. But over the last two decades, astronomers have discovered thousands upon thousands of planets in the night sky. How have they found these planets, and what have we seen on them? And what is left to learn? Join us at the McCallion Planetarium as we discuss how we find these planets, how they’re different than our own, and what sorts of wild and wonderful planets exist in our universe.

All ticket sales are final. Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.
