Looking forward to the New Year – The Sky Tonight

It’s the first week of the month. You know what that means… it’s time for The Sky Tonight!

The Sky Tonight

The Sky Tonight is held in person at the Fleet Science Center the first Wednesday night of every month and the second Sunday in the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater in Balboa Park. We also offer a virtual show on the third Wednesday. The Sky Tonight show takes the audience on a tour of the night sky, and then we focus on a specific topic. This month, we’ll discuss upcoming astronomical events in 2024.

What will you see?

After a sky tour, we’ll discuss 2024’s meteor showers, comets, space missions, and eclipses. There is so much to look forward to in the upcoming year!

If you’re worried you or your child won’t be able to sit still for a whole planetarium show, on the second Sunday of the month at 11 AM, we’re presenting The Sky Tonight: Family Edition. The show will be shorter than the others: a 30-35 minute version, followed by Q&A, under the beautiful night sky of our planetarium dome.

And if you can’t join us in person, join us for The Sky Tonight: Virtual Edition on the third Wednesday at 7 PM. We’ll make sure you see all the same beautiful images as the audience under the dome. And these shows are pay-as-you-wish! From free to $20, with any amount going to support events like these. Just make sure you register in advance so you can receive the Zoom link.

Hopefully we’ll see you soon at The Sky Tonight and other events at the Fleet Science Center.

Wishing you clear skies!
