Skies Over Louisville at the Planetarium

Interested in seeing the seasonal sky in action, complete with expert tour guides, constellation tales and a flight through the universe? Join us for Skies Over Louisville, our monthly, live star program at the planetarium. The second Friday night of every month at 8 PM. After the show, enjoy a telescope viewing party on the planetarium terrace with Louisville's own Astronomical Society (the telescopes are weather permitting, but the Skies Over Louisville show happens rain or shine!)

Louisville's Winter Skies

Brisk winter nights are perfect for star gazing and the sky is full of drama just waiting to unfold. Learn what disguise Zeus took on to court Europa. What happened to Aries' golden fleece? And just why did Orion and Scorpius battle to the death? Answers and more stories await at our live live monthly Skies Over Louisville show the second Friday of each month at 8 pm. Get up close and personal with the current night sky!
