Where: W.J. McCallion Planetarium, Burke Science Building B149, McMaster University, 1280, Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8

Join us at the planetarium for a show geared towards a younger audience (around 8-15 years old) and their family members. Throughout history people on Earth have noticed the importance of the Sun and the Moon in the sky. In this show we will look at the Sun and Moon up close and see how they relate to the Earth through space. Where do the northern lights come from? Why do solar and lunar eclipses happen? What does the Earth look like from the Moon? We’ll explore these questions and more!

All ticket sales are final.  Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.

A note that this show is not specifically designed for kids – if you are interested in a show designed for a younger audience, please consider our Introductory Astronomy for Kids options (typically on the first Wednesday or the third Saturday of each month).
