No doubt you’ve noticed the scarceness of posts over the past few weeks. No, we weren’t hit by a rogue meteor, or swallowed up by merging black holes, but we still had a pretty good reason. We’ve been busy planning Kansas’ largest Astronomy Day festival - AstroFest 2006!
Save the date! Saturday, May 6, 2006 from 10am to 5pm at Exploration Place in Wichita. Celebrate national Astronomy Day with Exploration Place’s festival of astronomy and space for the whole family, featuring a keynote lecture by Dr. Peter Backus, Observing Manager for the SETI Institute.
Spend the whole day with us learning about astronomy and space with special exhibits, activities, CyberDome shows, solar observing, guest lectures, free materials, a chance to win two telescopes and Astronomy magazine subscriptions, a teacher’s workshop, and so much more for one very low special price!
See all the exhibits, lectures and unlimited CyberDome shows for $7 for ages 16+, $5 ages 5-15, $2 ages 2-4 and $6.50 for ages 65+. It’s a deal that’s, well, out of this world!
AstroFest 2006 will include:
Guest Lectures
CyberDome Shows
Activities and Demonstrations
Telescope Giveaway
Marsbot Teacher’s Workshop (8am, registration required)
Evening Observing at Lake Afton Public Observatory
