The Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium inspires visitors of all ages with the wonders of science. Located on the University of Arizona campus, Flandrau offers hands-on science exhibits about science topics from earth to space, and more. 

Dr. Tom Fleming will use the digital projection system in Flandrau's Eos Foundation Planetarium Theater to teach lessons in Astronomy and illustrate how the planetarium is used to instruct our current undergraduate students. Lesson topics will highlight the research done in Astronomy and Space Science by the faculty at the University of Arizona, including imaging the event horizons of supermassive black holes and extracting and returning a sample of matter from an asteroid.
