Kent State University Planetarium Presents “Introduction to the Autumn Sky”

The Kent State University Planetarium will present the first in its series of free public shows for the 2012-2013 academic year. The program, “Introduction to the Autumn Sky,” will be presented by Brett Ellman, Ph.D., planetarium director, and will take place on Friday, Sept. 21, Saturday, Sept. 22, and Friday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. nightly, in Room 108 of Smith Hall.

In his presentation, Ellman will showcase the prominent autumn constellations, point out celestial objects that are visible to the naked eye and tour our neighbors in the solar system.

This show is free and open to all, but it is not appropriate for children under age six. Because seating capacity is limited, reservations are recommended by calling 330-672-2246. Persons needing special accommodations are requested to call at least one week in advance of the show.
