| Topic: | Introductory Astronomy for Kids - Galaxies |
Introduction: | Join us at the planetarium for a show especially geared towards a younger audience (around 8-15 years old) and their family members. You've seen the Sun and the Moon, the planets, and the Hamilton night sky, but what's beyond the Solar System? In this show, we'll journey through the Milky Way and discuss our Solar System's place in the Galaxy and our Galaxy's place in the Universe. How long will it take to get to the nearest star and visit other worlds? What's in the center of our Galaxy? How does our Galaxy compare to others? We'll answer all these questions and more! 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: | 5:45 pm, 7:00 pm |
| Reserve Tickets: | Reserve your tickets and manage your reservations here. Tickets may be available at the door, but this is not guaranteed. If a show is sold out you can choose to be added to the waiting list, and you will be notified if seats become available. Please note that latecomers cannot be admitted and if you are late, your reserved tickets may be given away to those without reservations. |

COVID-19 UPDATE AS OF JUNE 1, 2022:
Thank you for your interest in the William J. McCallion Planetarium. We are now once again taking private group show bookings and have resumed our public show schedule on Wednesday evenings. Should you have any specific inquiries or would like to book a show, please reach out to planetarium@physics.mcmaster.ca.
To ensure that we are conducting our reopening plan as safely as possible, we strongly encourage all visitors to the Planetarium to wear masks for the duration of the show as the space is small and enclosed (note: McMaster also strongly encourages visitors to wear masks while inside buildings on campus according to their most recent update).
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we continue to adapt to the guidelines laid out by McMaster to ensure a safe reopening. We are privileged that we will soon be able to host you in our space once again. Please direct your concerns and questions to: planetarium@physics.mcmaster.ca.
Sincerely,
The McCallion Planetarium team
