You’re invited to the Coca-Cola Space Science Center on Saturday, July 18th, as a part of our series of free Astronomy Nights in 2026!

We’ll begin at 9 p.m. in our Omnisphere Planetarium, with Dr. Rosa Williams pointing out current constellations and bright objects in the evening skies. Weather permitting, at 9:30 pm, we will move outside to the telescopes on our South Lawn to view the Waxing Crescent moon. Other night sky objects will also be visible, and we will try to find harder objects as the night progresses, while showing our Smurfit WestRock observatory to those interested.
