Family Planetarium Show: Two Small Pieces of Glass

Join two students as they explore with a female astronomer at a local star party. Along the way, the students learn the history of the telescope from Galileo's modifications to a child's spyglass — using two small pieces of glass — to the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. Aiming to engage and appeal to audiences of all ages, the show explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years. Watch a trailer here. Each show will be followed by a live presentation of Tonight's Sky. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. To purchase tickets in advance visit https://www.tickets.umn.edu/UMDMWAP/Online/
