Come join Alex Innanen as they cover a brief history of Curiosity’s mission, highlight some of its exciting findings, and discuss the challenges of working remotely on another planet.

Enter a Digital Portable Planetarium and take a journey through the universe led by a DDO astronomer. We’ll tour the night sky, travel through space, and see immersive full dome movies. The unscripted format will allow guests to experience a variety of topics. Ask our astronomer questions and see the answers in a planetarium setting. Please note that all guests will sit on a clean floor. A registered adult must accompany all registered participants under the age of 16.

Dr.Guan will walk through how mapping the sky in millimeter has significantly advanced our knowledge of the universe, ranging from its early history and fundamental building blocks, to the magnetic field morphology of our galaxy.
