Gazing Into Our Universe: A Virtual Planetarium Experience
-
Presented Online
Today we know that stars, along with gas and dust, make up galaxies, which come in many shapes and sizes. Our own spiral-shaped Milky Way is one of countless galaxies in the universe. But it wasn’t until the 1920s that astronomers developed the tools and techniques that helped us acquire this knowledge.
National Air and Space Society members are invited to a special, virtual evening with curator of astronomy Samantha Thompson. She will highlight the astronomical discoveries that enhance our understanding of the universe.
