The John Drescher Planetarium will present two special showings of “Autumn Deep Sky Gems,” featuring the astronomical “celebrities” that grace the late evening sky in the fall. The two showings will fall on Aug. 31 and Sept. 7, at 8 p.m. The planetarium’s show will provide a look at the best autumn objects beyond our solar system and will describe how astronomers’ understanding of these objects continues to evolve.
“Autumn Deep Sky Gems” will be preceded by “The Night Sky Show,” which re-creates the night sky and provides the latest information on space exploration.
Tickets are $5 each or $9 for the “double bill,” with discounts for children and senior citizens. For information, call (310) 434-4223 or (310) 434-3000.
