Lovers in the Sky -
The ancient Greeks told many heart-rending love stories that have been passed down through the ages, and the stories connect to the constellations in the night sky. You’ll hear about Queen Cassiopeia and Cepheus, about Cassiopeia’s beautiful daughter Andromeda and the hero Perseus, and about all-powerful Zeus and his love for the nymph Callisto. These and other timeless tales are written in the stars and explored in the “Lovers In the Sky” tour of the stars.
Make sure to enjoy the other activities at your leisure during this special event, included with your show ticket, from 6:00 to 10:00PM. Guests can visit our science exhibits, decked out especially for Valentine's Day with special lighting and romantic songs. A pair of science activities will also be on-hand, including Create Your Own Constellation and Strawberry DNA Extraction. The observatory telescope will be open, too (weather and clouds permitting), with volunteer astronomers to guide your through points of interest in the night sky.
