Tonight's lecture: The International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space laboratory orbiting Earth where astronauts from many countries conduct micro-gravity experiments. But what exactly are they doing up there? And how do American astronauts get there now that the space shuttle has been decommissioned? Join us to learn more about experiments being conducted on the ISS, take a virtual video tour of the station, and learn how to spot the ISS in the night sky.
Night Sky Adventures are astronomy fun for the whole family! Educators from the Dudley Observatory, in conjunction with volunteers from the Albany Area Amateur Astronomers group, present astronomy lessons, activities, planetarium shows and night sky viewing (weather depending). Amateur astronomers and families are invited to bring binoculars or telescopes. One or more telescopes will be provided for public use. Great for all skill levels!
Cost: Admission to miSci ($10.50 adult, $7.50 child age 3-12, $9 senior 65+), Free for miSci members
Come early to enjoy the museum galleries as well as the Dudley Observatory program. miSci will be open continuously from 9am through the end of the Night Sky Adventure.
