Fiske Planetarium Show

The newest show at the Fiske Planetarium is The Science of the Signs. Created by Matt Tearle and David Beltran-del-Rio of the department of Applied Math, this presentation examines the relationship between astrology and astronomy, the occurence of equinoxes and solstices, and issues regarding setting calendars and timekeeping from the sky.

Shows start at 7:30pm on both Thursday and Friday evening, 10-11 March. Admission for ``Science of the Signs'' is $6 for adults, $5 for students and $3.50 for children and seniors. Sommers-Bausch Observatory, adjacent to the planetarium, is open to the public following Friday shows, weather permitting. Admission to the observatory as well as guided viewing through the 16- and 18-inch telescopes is free.
