Monsters and royalty could not keep Perseus from his love, Andromeda, and you can learn all about it at the planetarium.  Get a jump start on your Valentine Day celebration by bringing your special someone to share in this great love story.  

How could we make this deal any sweeter? By teaming up with Comfy Cow, of course! Take your receipt from our February Legends of the Night Sky show to the Cardinal Towne Comfy Cow on February 12 and get 10% off of your purchase (February 12 only)!

Still not sweet enough? Then bring in a Comfy Cow receipt (from any date) on Sunday, February 12 and receive $1 off admission per person in your group (up to 4 people can buy discount tickets with one receipt).  

FREE public lecture: Black Holes and Exploding Stars
March 2, 7 pm

Join Justin Vandenbroucke, Ph.D., Kavli Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, Stanford University as he shares about black holes and exploding stars. The night sky is a beautiful sight, but there is an even more awe-inspiring sky that new types of telescopes spread around the world from Africa to Antarctica are capturing. Scientists are discovering that the Universe is full of violent events like exploding stars and exotic objects like black holes.  Some of these telescopes detect light a trillion times more energetic than we can see with our eyes or even with traditional telescopes.  Others don't even detect light but instead detect particles such as neutrinos. Don't miss this eye-opening experience!

Stay for our 8 pm public show, "The Planets" where we tour the universe and get up close and personal with our neighboring planets (admission: $8 adults; $6 kids under 13, seniors 65+ and UofL affiliates with valid ID).
