The Dudley Observatory at miSci is committed to lifelong learning and has created programming specifically designed for adults! Come explore the museum on a quiet afternoon, then join the Dudley Observatory for an exciting astronomy lesson presented by our Outreach Astronomer, Dr. Valerie Rapson. Each day we will focus on a specific astronomy topic. Presentations are designed for all skill levels. No astronomy knowledge is necessary, just come and enjoy learning!
This month's topic: Our Next Door Neighbor: The Andromeda Galaxy
Astronomers have used a variety of telescopes to explore the Andromeda galaxy. They’ve mapped the spiral arms, spotted exploding stars, and even measured its motion through the Universe. Join us for a 2.5 million light year journey to our next door neighbor, Andromeda!
Cost: miSci admission ($12 adult, $10 ages 65+), FREE for miSci members
Come early or stay after the lesson to enjoy the many exhibits miSci has
to offer! The museum is open from 10am - 5pm. Senior Science takes place on the first Wednesday of each month at miSci.
