Astronomer’s Choice:
Have you checked out one of our stargazing events yet? Want to learn more about what is happening in the sky beyond the constellations? Now introducing at Gore Place... Astronomer’s Choice! This virtual, hour-long presentation is led by our astronomer Nick as he shares a special astronomy topic of his choice with us. His first topic: Discovering the Planets!
Astronomer's Choice: Discovering the Planets
Earth. Our home. Our big blue marble. And yet, it's only one planet in our grand solar system. Have you ever wondered if we've always known about all the others? Did we always know what, and where, they were? And exactly how many of them are there anyway? These questions, and more, are what we'll be exploring in the upcoming Astronomer's Choice presentation at Gore Place. You'll learn about which planets have been known since antiquity and which were found around the time of the Gores by carefully observing the motions of our celestial neighborhood. We'll track the work of astronomers from around the world as we go on a journey to discover the planets of our solar system.
This presentation will take place over Zoom on Thursday, April 15 at 7pm EST. Tickets are $20 per household. The program is best suited for adults and children ages 6 and up. Join us with the family or solo as we travel the cosmos!
Cost: $20.00
