(Hamilton, Ontario)

Next Public Show — March 29, 2023
Topic:A Voyage with Voyager
Introduction: It is 1977 and you are the newly built NASA probe, Voyager 1. You prepare for your long journey through our Solar System and beyond, to places in the Universe no human-made object has ever been. You pack your bag with some messages and music from humanity, stored on a golden record, to present to any new friends you may meet on the way. Join us at the Planetarium to experience the sights and sounds of an absolutely out-of-this-world road trip! We strongly encourage visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed.
Show Times: 7:00pm, 8:15pm
