Stargazing on the Terrace with Geoff Chester

Geoff Chester is a long-time friend of the planetarium, having assisted in public programs numerous times in the past. He is the Public Affairs Officer of the U.S. Naval Observatory, and a well-known astrophotography expert. Join him on the terrace after the Saturday show for a guided look at the stars and an opportunity to ask questions about what you see when you look up. No tickets required for this event.

Doors open: 7 p.m. Show begins: 7:30 p.m.

Our capacity is 58 seats. We set aside 20 seats to accommodate those who arrive without a reservation, so if the show is sold out you can still try to attend by arriving close to 7 p.m. However, although we will do whatever we can to seat all comers, there is no guarantee of admission without a reservation.
