Happy New Year! Below is our schedule of free, public shows for the spring academic semster. As regulars know, the “Sky this Month” shows are live planetarium talks presented by our director. They include a tour of the current night sky and discussion of recent astronomy news and related concepts. The other shows are recorded full-dome presentations from top producers of planetarium media. (Except the April 23rd show – we’ll be producing that one ourselves. Stay tuned.) These recorded shows will be preceded by a brief live tour of the current night sky via our Spitz SciDome projector. All the shows will last approximately 40 minutes. The Hatter Planetarium is located on the first floor of Masters Hall on the Gettysburg College campus. First-come, first-seated. The doors close when the show begins.
You can also see an updating calendar of our upcoming events on our web site.
