Join us this Saturday for a trip to the stars in the SUNY Oneonta Planetarium!

- At 10:30, "Messengers of Time and Space" - explore how modern telescopes, like the Gemini and Rubin Observatories, will work together to explore objects that move and change in the night sky. Audiences will also learn how information can reach us through other messengers like cosmic rays, elusive particles neutrinos, and even gravitational waves rippling through space.

Join us at the SUNY Oneonta Planetarium tomorrow night for "The Life and Death of Stars" with Dr. Valerie Rapson. Travel across the cosmos to witness how stars are born from vast clouds of gas and dust, shine for millions to billions of years, and ultimately shed their outer layers in dramatic explosions. The Life and Death of Stars explores stellar evolution within the Winter and Spring night sky and highlights the latest telescope imagery of young stars forming planets, old supergiant stars, beautiful supernova remnants, and more!
