Follow along with two students as they interact with an 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.
Appealing to audiences of all ages, this show explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years.

Duration: 23 minutes
Recommended for general audiences

The program will be followed by a short sky talk in the planetarium.
