Moon Witch

And the ghosts and goblins ringing doorbells are not spirits but young two-legged costumed creatures in search of treasured candy...
All around the world, people have imagined seeing all sorts of strange things and faces in the moon...

Earthshine is sunlight bouncing off of the earth, and shining down on the moon, and then bouncing off the moon, and back to our eyes...

Ideal for grades 2nd through 5th, and as a super family Halloween program, this planetarium production examines the nature of the moon and its changing appearance in the sky.

Come join us for this rousing planetarium show now through November.

For entertainment, not even the sky is the limit. Explore the universe and other fascinating subjects in our state-of-the-art planetarium, featuring star-studded performances daily.
