SUMMARY:How Do Astronomers Learn About Things That Are So Far Away?
DESCRIPTION:The University of Nebraska Kearney Planetarium is offering a free show to the public! Astronomers use large telescopes to study the Universe. However\, space is so vast that even with the largest telescopes\, planets\, stars\, and even galaxies can appear just as dots. Come learn about some of the techniques that astronomers use to learn so much from such small points of light in the sky. \nFree tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 3/27. \nShows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches\, remove lighted shoes\, etc.\, so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark\, quiet environment. Please arrive 5 minutes before your show\, or ticket reservations may be released to allow for walk-in attendees. \nIn conjunction with the show\, the UNK Astronomy Club will provide telescope observing\, outside of Bruner Hall\, at 9:00 PM (weather permitting).
