Pub Night Under the Stars: New Era of Astronomy – The Vera Rubin Telescope

Friday, August 8
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

A new telescope is opening the skies to astronomers better than ever before, set on the Andes Mountains in Chile. See some of the first images from the Vera Rubin Telescope and learn about this new great science tool from Planetarium Director Renae Kerrigan, who has toured the site before it opened!

Your evening will also include a tour of the night sky, the latest images from the James Webb Space Telescope, and a flight to the edge of space and back.
Each guest receives an individual snack box featuring nachos, cheese, pretzels, fruit, nuts & more; up to three servings of beer, seltzer or soda; and an entertaining evening under the stars.

Doors open at 6:50 PM
The program will be in two parts, allowing time to socialize and get more refreshments between shows.
