Registration for Planetarium

REGISTRATION OPENS MONDAY FOR JANUARY PLANETARIUM SHOW

The week of Jan. 27 marks a dark period in manned space exploration. Although decades apart, the losses of the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia crews serve as a reminder of just how dangerous manned exploration can be. In January's monthly community planetarium show at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29, Planetarium Director Bob Nicholson will take a look at disasters and near disasters in manned space exploration. (Due to the nature of the show's content, parents with young children are advised not to register for this show.) The program will end with a walk across the late January sky. The show will take place at T.C. Williams High School, 3330 King St., Alexandria. Registration will open at noon on Monday, Jan. 7. Enrollment is limited to the first 35 people who register online or by calling the planetarium at 703-824-6805, extension 6300. To allow more people access to the planetarium shows, please note that we cannot honor bulk requests for tickets. Please order only the number of tickets you need for your family. For additional information, please email or call Bob Nicholson at 703-824-6805, extension 6300.
