Hohfeld Hall (view on map)

Where do we find asteroids in our Solar System, and which ones should we be worried about? Join a planetarium presenter as we explore asteroids that could potentially come close to Earth, and the missions that are finding them. This is a live, 15-minute long program.

Programs in Hohfeld Hall are a great option for families with children under 4 who are too young for Morrison Planetarium shows but eager for a bit of cosmic adventure. No reservations required!
