The Sun and Space Weather
Tuesday-Friday, Jan. 2-5: 11:40 am, 1:40 pm, 3:40 pm
Hohfeld Hall (view on map)

We usually think of space as empty, but there’s a lot going on out there! In this live 15-minute long show, a planetarium presenter will guide you on a journey to learn about space weather, solar storms, magnetic fields, and more! We’ll explore how these invisible events affect us here on Earth and how scientists study the Sun’s activity and influence.

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!
