Do you want to learn more about the stars and constellations of autumn?
Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) is holding a star show at 7 p.m., Friday Nov. 6, in the Los Alamos Nature Center Planetarium.
The show will cover celestial objects easily viewed through binoculars throughout the month of November including a neighboring galaxy, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and double stars.
After the planetarium show, venture outside for a brief tour of the evening constellations, weather permitting.
The November Night Sky planetarium show is $6 for adults and $4 for children. Tickets are available by calling or stopping by the nature center. Seating is limited.
Planetarium shows are suitable for ages four and up. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for the planetarium show. To help acclimate to the planetarium’s night
sky, no one will be admitted after the show begins.
Our monthly night sky shows are offered on the first Friday of the month, aside from holidays. Each show focuses on what is visible in the sky that month.
