Science Museum May
Stars Over Springfield
7:30 pm
Springfield Science Museum
Join members of the Springfield Stars Club for skygazing in the museum observatory and on the Quadrangle green. Rain or shine.
Christopher Lyons, museum astronomy educator, will present “The Life Cycle of Stars.” Stars, like humans, are born, live their lives as adults, and go through major changes as they grow old and finally die. But they do this over a life-span of millions and billions of years. Lyons will explain the out-of-this-world stages and processes of a star’s life.
After the presentation, participants can use the museum telescope to view sights in the night sky. If overcast, a planetarium show will be presented.
Admission: $3 adults, $2 children
