Dark Skies, Bright Kids

Summer Astronomy Program

Come explore the universe with the Dark Skies, Bright Kids Astronomy Summer Program! You will have the opportunity to:

​

  • explore the night sky and travel to other planets with DSBK’s portable planetarium

  • learn about constellations, distant solar systems, and other galaxies

  • make your own comets here on Earth, just like the ones in outer space

  • discover how we use invisible light to solve mysteries of the Universe.

 

We will also host a Star Party at the end of the week where you can look through telescopes and enjoy the beautiful, starry night sky!
