Discover the intersection of art, science, and solar observation in a unique experience co-presented by the California Academy of Sciences, Gallery Wendi Norris, and Minnesota Street Project Foundation. This not-to-be missed, all-ages event invites visitors to enjoy Rohini Devasher's exhibition, One Hundred Thousand Suns, alongside pop-up planetarium shows presented by the Academy of Sciences.
We usually think of space as empty, but there's a lot going on out there! In The Sun and Space Weather, a live 15-minute long show, a planetarium presenter will guide visitors on a journey to learn about space weather, solar storms, magnetic fields, and more! We'll explore how these invisible events affect us here on Earth and how scientists study the Sun's activity and influence.
In addition to the planetarium show, family-friendly eclipse-inspired activities will be available, including crafting your own pinhole eclipse viewer, a variety of space-themed coloring sheets, and more.
The planetarium program will be presented several times throughout the day -- regsiter for a specific time slot and be sure to arrive early to ensure you get a spot!
